If you are unable to currently publish your theme and would still like to set up the ‘collection.banner’ template, we have instructions on how to access unpublished templates here.

Step 3: Select collection.banner from the template suffix selector located at the bottom right corner of the page, and save.
Step 3: Then, before configuring the collection.banner settings, be sure to add a method to navigate to the collection page from your home page, by adding a link to your main menu (Online Store > Navigation).
Within the Theme Editor (customize), navigate to the collection page to view the collection and access the collection's settings.
