> ## Agent Instructions
> Weaverse component configuration uses `settings`. `inspector` is deprecated; never generate it.
> Weaverse Hydrogen themes use React Router v7: import from `react-router`, never `react-router-dom` or `@remix-run/*`.
> Define component schemas with `createSchema()` from `@weaverse/hydrogen` (React Router themes) or `@weaverse/next` (Next.js themes).
> These docs cover @weaverse/hydrogen, @weaverse/react and @weaverse/core 5.x, and @weaverse/next 1.x. Do not use APIs from other major versions.
> For live project data (pages, theme settings, translations), use the Weaverse MCP server: https://docs.weaverse.io/developer-tools/weaverse-mcp

# Promote an item to a global section

> Registers an existing item of this project, and its whole subtree, as a global section named `name` (1-191 characters). The item must already live on a page of this project; otherwise the call returns `404 PAGE_NOT_FOUND` and nothing is created. Promoting an item that is already a section of this project renames it.

This does not change any page content or publish anything: it only marks the subtree as shared. The response returns the section with its usages and live items, in the same shape as the list.

Required scope: `content:write`

      description: >-
        Bearer authentication: a shop API key (WEAVERSE_API_KEY), a scoped API
        key, a delegated MCP OAuth token, or (translation-unit routes only) a
        project-bound translation agent token. Scopes: content:read — Read
        projects, pages, theme settings, versions, drafts and translation units.
        content:write — Save drafts and make non-destructive edits (page items,
        metadata, SEO, assignments, languages, glossary). Never publishes or
        deletes. content:publish — Publish drafts, schedule/reschedule/cancel
        publications, restore versions, publish global sections. content:delete
        — Delete pages, global sections, languages, static keys, override
        reverts; required with project:manage for project deletion.
        project:manage — Create/copy/delete projects, settings, variants,
        hierarchy, backups, restore-as-new, previews, hostname policy.
        translations:read — Read translation units only (no general content
        access). translations:write — Apply translation units only; never
        mutates page content. A legacy unscoped API key keeps
        read/write/translation baseline access and every pre-scope endpoint, but
        never gains publish/delete/project-manage implicitly.
