Just for completion, if someone else is looking for an answer:

You can also remove one section by using merge-mode="remove"

 <context type="Product" component="editor-area" module="platformbackoffice">
      <editorArea:editorArea >
          <editorArea:tab name="hmc.tab.product.properties" position="2">
              <editorArea:section name="hmc.section.catalog_and_validity" merge-mode="remove"/>
          </editorArea:tab>
      </editorArea:editorArea>
  </context>

See the Creating and Using UI Configuration Merging Mechanism as Michal already said.

Hello,

Please see following configuration snippet which configures Editor Area for the type Product with only one tab, and one section.

 <context type="Product" component="editor-area" module="platformbackoffice">
     <editorArea:editorArea >
         <editorArea:tab name="hmc.tab.product.properties" position="2">
             <editorArea:section name="hmc.section.catalog_and_validity">
                 <editorArea:attribute qualifier="onlineDate"/>
                 <editorArea:attribute qualifier="offlineDate"/>
             </editorArea:section>
         </editorArea:tab>
     </editorArea:editorArea>
 </context>

Also, please notice two things:

1. merge-by attribute has been removed and Product no longer inherits configuration from the parent type

2. essentials section has been removed
