What is the alternate header user for?

The alternate header is a secondary header you can use for alternate page designs on your website. Sometimes you want the navigation on a store, blog, or landing page to be slightly different from the regular header across the rest of your website.

While you can always hide the header on specific pages, sometimes you still want a header on certain pages. The alternate header is just a second header you can customize and use for pages on your site where it would suit the design better.
