Header

Throughout, the value “px” refers to “Pixels”.
This allows your header to travel with you as you scroll down the page:
Tip:
There are two main options for your store's logo; text, or image.
A text logo will be shown by default, as the Theme will automatically pull in your store’s name from your Shopify Admin Settings.
To set an image (which will replace the text option mentioned above), you need to upload your image from your computer or select one from your existing Shopify image library. (These can also be found in Admin → Settings → Files).
This can be set to a value between 50 - 500px.
This can be set to a value between 50- 300 px.

Note:
Prior to Flow version 14.3, this option only applied to the Desktop view, as a design decision based around maximising the available screen space on Mobile device screens.
On 14.3 and later version, you have the option to add a Quantity Number to the Mobile Cart icon, to display how many items have been added.
A simple check-box to toggle the magnifying glass icon on or off at top right of the storefront.
This will place the header directly over the home page content:

Enable this option if you'd like to display breadcrumb navigation on your store:
This will result in a small inline navigation line, appearing just below the Header:
The main menu is usually used as the main navigation for your product collections and is displayed in this area of your header:
You are able to remove this entirely or change it for another block of links. These are created in your navigational area in the Shopify admin.
If you choose to remove this Main menu, keep in mind that your customers will then have no method of finding different areas of your site outside the homepage.
