Canvas Docs

Product Short Description

Displays the product short description with its paragraph markup intact. It is shown in the block inserter as Canvas Product Short Description and registered as canvas-core/woo-product-short-description.

Select the block on a page and its own settings open in the sidebar, in the panels below:

Each setting is named exactly as the block editor names it, followed by what it does and what it starts as. Where a setting carries a Shown when line, it stays hidden until that condition is met, which is the usual reason a setting looks missing from the sidebar:

    Bare emits the short description's paragraphs with no container of their own, so they sit as direct children of the summary column alongside the price, cart form and meta card. Same convention as Post Content.
