Updating to a New Theme Version
Here’s how to update your online store’s theme to the latest version.
The theme determines your online store’s appearance and functionality. Theme updates may include new features, improvements to existing ones, or fixes for discovered issues.
You can find themes under Online Store in the admin panel.
1. Start the version update of the theme via Actions > Update
The update creates a new version of the theme and does not in any way affect the old theme or interrupt store operations. You can safely start the update.
2. The new version appears under the “Installed themes” heading.
Check the theme via Actions > Edit to make sure everything is in order. Edit the theme if something is not as you wish. Only when everything is ready, proceed to the next step.
3. Choose Publish
Click the Publish button. This does not yet apply the theme to the store, but brings you one step closer to publishing. You may preview the theme for reassurance before publishing.
4. Click Publish theme
Finally, click the Publish theme button, and the new theme version will be live on your online store.
Check that it works
After switching the theme, it’s a good idea to check that everything works as intended. Visit your own online store and test that everything functions correctly. For example, try menus, add products to the cart, and proceed to checkout.
If you encounter problems, go back to editing the theme to make improvements. If you’re unsure about the extent of the issues, you can always revert to the previous version of the theme until the problems are resolved.
