adminAppearanceSections

The sections a channel holds for a theme, in the order they are drawn, with footer_links last. Returns a plain list — one channel's page layout is not paginated.

Arguments

Argument	Type	Description
code	String!	Theme code.
channel	Int	Channel ID. Falls back to the current channel.
locale	String	Locale the options are read in. Must be one the channel runs; otherwise the app locale, then the channel's first locale.

Fields

Field	Type	Description
id	ID!	Resource IRI.
_id	Int!	Section ID.
name	String	Name shown in the editor.
type	String	One of the six section types.
themeCode	String	Theme the section belongs to.
channelId	Int	Channel the section belongs to.
sortOrder	Int	Published position.
status	Int	Published on/off — 1 or 0.
draftStatus	Boolean	Staged on/off, null when nothing is staged.
draftSortOrder	Int	Staged position, null when nothing is staged.
hasDraft	String	"1" when the section holds any staged edit, else "0".
isPinned	String	"1" for footer_links, which is always drawn last.
createdAt	String	ISO 8601.
updatedAt	String	ISO 8601.
message	String	Action confirmation; null on reads.
translations	connection	One node per locale that has content, each with locale, options and draftOptions.

Use cases

• Draw the editor list — the list is already in render order, so render it as returned rather than sorting by sortOrder, which would misplace a staged reorder and lift the footer.
• Show an unpublished-changes banner — true when any node's hasDraft is "1".

Best practices

• hasDraft and isPinned resolve as the strings "1" and "0". Compare against those, not against true.
• options and draftOptions are JSON values and take no sub-selection — their shape changes per section type.
• Ask for a channel explicitly. Without channel the current channel answers, which is rarely what a multi-channel editor wants.
