Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to copy code from one theme, and paste it into another and have it work properly?
If so what code should I be copying? the css and the liquid?
Thanks for any advice!

Hey, @Jay111 !
Olivia here from the Shopify Team.
Thanks for reaching out to our community. To answer your question, it could be possible to copy and paste code from one theme to another. While the code can certainly work in another theme, it will be dependent on many factors. For this reason, I would default to expecting it not to work.
To give you further context Shopify themes are all built on the same foundation, however, the same piece of code can act differently on two Shopify themes depending on where they have been placed. If you take a look at any of our dev tutorials, you’ll notice the same code has different install instructions for different themes.
When making code changes on your theme, we recommend that you are familiar with basic concepts of HTML/CSS to ensure no changes are made inadvertently.
Is there a particular reason you are asking if this is possible? If you are after a certain functionality on your theme, I highly recommend that you post a new topic with a particular question. Make sure to include your theme details for expert code advice specific to your theme.
I look forward to your reply.
Warm regards,
