# Blank section

### Section overview

The Section component is Slab's general-purpose section container. It supports theme and app blocks, optional full-section linking, background media, and shared spacing, color, and display controls.

#### Common use cases

* Building custom page sections without creating a specialized section file.
* Grouping multiple theme or app blocks inside one configurable wrapper.
* Making an entire section clickable with a single URL setting.
* Applying reusable spacing and visibility behavior across many templates.

#### Usage tips

* Use this section when no specialized template section is required.
* Set a section URL only when every child element should share the same destination.
* Keep spacing and minimum height values consistent with surrounding sections.
* Test hide-on-scroll and overlap behaviors on both desktop and mobile.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.brickspacelab.com/slab/content/sections/blank-section.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
