I’m currently working on a Shopify store and trying to preview one of my unpublished themes. However, when I attempt to view the preview, it only shows me the live website instead of the unpublished theme. How can I get a proper preview of my unpublished theme? Any tips or solutions would be greatly appreciated!
Here’s how you can Previewing an unpublished theme:
1. Access Your Themes Page- Log in to your Shopify admin.
- Go to Online Store > Themes.
2. Preview the Unpublished Theme- Find the theme you want to preview.
- Click on the Actions button next to the theme.
- From the dropdown, select Preview.
This will open a new tab or window in your browser where you can see how the unpublished theme looks with your current store’s content.
Thank You!
Hey @oscprofessional !
Is there a way to share this preview link with my client?
At the moment, when I share this link, it asks for a password and directs him to the default Dawn theme.
Thanks!
Hi @talwag
Yes, you can share the preview link & password by following these steps:
- Go to your Shopify admin and navigate to Online Store > Themes.
- In the list of themes, find the theme you want to share and click “Actions” > “Preview.”
- Copy the URL from the preview mode and share it with your client.
- This method might still ask for a password if the store is password-protected
Password Protection Settings:
- Go to your Shopify admin and navigate to Online Store > Preferences.
- Scroll down to the “Password protection” section and either temporarily disable the password or adjust settings to allow access to certain users.
- Either you can copy it.
You can provide the password along with the link.
my problem is that when I share this preview link, it still directs the client to the published theme instead of the unpublished theme I’m trying to show him
