Collections
Collections on a template whose name starts with "category" are categories; on one starting with "look", looks. Looks never appear in collection links or on the collections page.
Collection navigation
A menu of collections, up to three levels. All products shows its top level; a collection shows its own children, or its siblings when it has none. Without a menu here, a menu with the handle collection-navigation is used, and without either, All products lists your categories.
Editorial image sharpness
Standard is the smallest file. High keeps fine texture at about twice the size. Highest swaps in your original file after the page loads and can be 1 to 3 MB per image.
Text on wide images
Images 3:2 or wider run the whole row with their words on them, over a fade rising from their side, or an even wash in the middle.
Show collection links
The links from Theme settings › Collections and filters › Collection navigation.

Filters
Which filters show, their order and their values are set in Shopify's Search and Discovery app; these settings set how they look in Filter and sort.
Show counts
The number of products beside each value.
Show short values as buttons
A filter whose values are all five characters or fewer, such as sizes, shows them as a grid of boxes.
Swatches
For filters shown as swatches in Search and Discovery, or whose values have swatches, such as Color.
Values before Show all
A filter with more values shows this many, then Show all. A chosen value further down shows them all.
