sharepoint online modern pages - zones or sections
- Sep 19, 2017
Hello,
In the first versions of the PnP Client Side Pages capabilities, These objects were called Zones and Sections
- Zones were the rows
- Sections were the "columns" inside of these rows
They have been renamed during August to be in sync with the Modern Pages UI.
Now,
- Zones became "Sections" (row)
- Sections became Columns
It is just a matter of wording, but these two last one are the up-to-date terminology

You add "sections", and then you reference "columns" inside the sections. Both are just numbers. So you can't really re-use a zone name, you have to kinda know what sections exist, and what numbers those sections are.
Looks like "sections" and "zones" are interchangable terminology when it comes to modern pages.
