**Important**

Classic CMS reached end-of-life in January 2025 and is no longer receiving feature updates or bug fixes. You should \[migrate to Spire CMS]\(../../End user docs/spire-cms/get-started-with-spire-cms/migrate-from-classic-cms-to-spire-cms.mdx).

Layout Sections provide the ability to inject content into areas of the HTML outside of the Layout template. They support DotLiquid, but do not have a model available. The layout sections that are available are

- \~/Views/LayoutSections/HeadStart.liquid - will be injected immediately after the `<head>` tag in the page
- \~/Views/LayoutSections/HeadEnd.liquid - will be injected immediately before `</head>` tag in the page
- \~/Views/LayoutSections/BodyStart.liquid - will be injected immediately after `<body>` tag in the page
- \~/Views/LayoutSections/BodyEnd.liquid - will be injected immediately after `</body>` tag in the page

A Google Analytics code snippet is an example of when you'd use a Layout Section. The snippet for Google Analytics needs to exist at the top of the `<head>` tag. However, in this particular example, Google Analytics is already supported by Configured Commerce using the **Analytics** settings in the Admin Console: **Administration** > **System** > **Settings** > **System Settings** > **Analytics** section.
