# Use Conditional Logic Use this section when you need to control template output with `RENDER` statements. Conditional logic lets you show or hide text, clauses, and sections based on Salesforce data. Use it when one template needs to adapt to record values instead of branching into multiple template versions. {% hint style="info" %} Start with the tutorial if you are new to `RENDER`. Use the how-to guide for common build patterns. Use the reference when you need exact syntax, operators, and structure. {% endhint %} ### Start with the path that fits your goal If you are learning conditional logic for the first time, start with the Quick Start tutorial. If you already know the output you need, jump to the how-to guide. If you need exact behavior details, use the Developer's Hub reference.
