Apply a new theme, or reset your customizations
Go to Online Store → Themes, click Apply on a theme and choose Import demo & apply or Start clean. To reset a theme you customised under My themes, use Sync theme, which erases all your customisations and restores the original.
Steps
- Open Online Store → Themes and browse the pre-made themes; use the preview to look at one before applying.
- Click Apply. In the Import demo data? dialog choose Import demo & apply (adds the theme's sample products, reviews and categories) or Start clean (keeps your existing content only).
- The active theme card now shows Customize, which opens the store editor (same as Online Store → Theme Settings). Edit, then click Save.
- To build your own theme, click Create my own theme, give it a name and description, then open it from My themes with Customize theme (the editor shows a Theme Mode badge). From the same card you can Edit information (name, description, cover image up to 5 MB), duplicate, Delete or Share Theme with another store by subdomain.
- To reset a customised theme: on its card click Sync theme and confirm; "This action will erase all your customizations and restore the original version of this theme."
- Changes made in the editor are stored with Save; page visibility is controlled by the Published / Unpublished toggle.
