A module is a feature of the site (product collection, video, banners, image, etc) and a zone is where on the page the module should be located. Before making any changes, use the dropdown to select which page of your site you would like to edit. In this example, "Home" is selected. "Home" is the main landing page visitors are shown when they access your site.
All of the available module types are located on the left and the available page zones are shown on the right.
