Edit Product Button at bottom of product page

Topic summary

Main issue: The Shopify storefront’s bottom admin bar (black banner) no longer shows the “Edit product” quick-action on product pages; only “Navigate to admin” remains.

Scope and impact:

  • Affects multiple themes (e.g., Canopy 4.3.1, Sense) and multiple computers, suggesting it’s not theme- or device-specific.
  • Behavior is intermittent for some: the button vanished, returned, then vanished again.
  • Other quick actions also reported missing, such as country selector and customization. Separately, the “Most Viewed products” feature is reported as removed.

Attempts/workarounds:

  • Previously, enabling via the “view your online store” icon worked, but no longer does.
  • Logging out of a live store, accessing a development store, then returning temporarily restored the button for one person only.
  • A solution cited in another thread did not resolve the issue here.

Current status:

  • No confirmed fix or official explanation in the discussion.
  • Likely a recent platform change or bug. The thread remains open with unresolved questions about restoring the missing buttons/features.

Hi. When I first started creating my site, it had the black bar across the bottom of the product pages where I could click “edit product” or “navigate to admin”. I have the black bar across the bottom and the “navigate to admin” button is there, but the “edit product” button is gone. That button is very useful to me, so I was wondering if anyone knew how to get it back? I saw on another thread someone that had a similar issue, but the solution that worked for them does not work for me. I am using the Canopy theme, version 4.3.1. If anyone has some ideas, that would be great.

Same problem here, but using Sense theme. Incredibly annoying and counterproductive.

I’ve just come to the forum hoping to find a solution to this, I had the Edit Product button just a few days ago, and now I only have a ‘navigate to admin’ button, I can’t figure out where Edit Product went, it was so useful and I use it all the time.

Would love some solution to finding it again! I used to be able to turn it on by clicking the ‘view your online store’ icon, but that no longer works:

We are having the same issue as well on multiple computers. SO ANNOYING!

I’m not sure what happened, but mine has sorted itself out and the Edit Product button is back. The only thing I did is I logged out of my store and into my development store, and when I came back to my live store, the button was back. It’s so confusing!

Hello, I would like to ask if this problem has been solved. Before, my black banner could still display buttons for adjusting country, editing products, customization, etc., but now suddenly the function of adjusting country has disappeared, leaving only the Navigate to admin button.

Mine vanished, returned, then vanished again! Also gone, is the Most Viewed [products] feature. It was extremely helpful in helping me decide what to promote and increased my sales. Why would Shopify remove features beloved by the USERS? Without research? I told a chat advisor to survey all users to see their popularity because I’m sure they’d reinstate them. Of course, nothing came of it. Everything’s gone to hell since they fired “a bunch of humans” and started operating on almost 100% bots! I may have been chatting with a bot.
