Best approach for website redesign: trial account or development area?

We are planning to install a new theme and make a few changes on our website. We need to get the website ready first and then replace the current one.

Should we get a trial account, duplicate the website there, do all the changes and move the website back to our account?
Is this the best solution or shopify offers a development area or something like that?

Hi @onzii

If you’re just changing themes, you can install a second, third, etc… theme next to your primary one while keeping it unpublished. You can do all the necessary work on it then publish once you’re ready. No need for another store.

Should that help answer your query, we always appreciate a like & mark as answer to let the community find quality answers faster. Thanks!
