    The Essence Pro theme instructions says:

    Front Page Hero Section
    When content is entered here, the Front Page Intro Paragraph and the Hero Buttons will be displayed at the top of the homepage, as shown below.

    But when I edit the different parts nothing happens, as the Hero Section isn't visible from start.
    Obviously, I miss something essential. But what?

    WordPress 5.3.2
    Theme Essence Pro 1.3.1
    Genesis 3.3.1
    Same problem in Chrome, Firefox Dev and MS Edge

    Did you follow the directions for setting up the home page? To see the here stuff, you have to designate a page as the home page.

    Thank you Victor,
    I did not expect Gutenberg Blocks on the front page. I am confused that I have to manage the settings for one certain part, in very different places, in the UI. After reading the instructions repeatedly, I could at last see how the settings connect.

    @charlieL Essence Pro was updated for blocks on the home page. The previous version was widget-based. If you like working with widgets better, you may see the earlier version in your account. If not, send a message to StudioPress to see if you can get the widget version.
