Feature request: Jump directly from front-end to admin

Topic summary

A user requests a feature to jump directly from the storefront to the admin panel for editing products, collections, or pages when logged in. They cite WordPress’s similar functionality as a useful model.

Current Solution Identified:

  • Shopify already provides an admin preview bar that appears when logged in
  • The bar includes quick links to edit the current page/product
  • If hidden, it can be restored by clearing cookies or by previewing any object (like a product) from the admin panel

Status: The requested feature appears to already exist natively in Shopify. The issue may be that the user accidentally hid the preview bar or is unaware of its existence.

My team commonly shows me things that need updating while linking to the front-end page, or I’ll be browsing my site and find an error. It would be SO much easier if there was a button apparent on the front-end when I am also logged into the back end where I can click and immediately be taken to that product, collection, or page to edit it.

WordPress has done this forever and it makes life so much easier. Would be even more valuable in Shopify, IMO.

Hey @LabSupNet-CH,

Could you please share your store URL and password [if applicable] so that I can take a look and provide you solution code.

Looking forward to hearing back from you.

You should have admin/preview bar like this:

If you don’t it means you’ve clicked “Hide bar” and would need to clear cookies to see it again.

Or, first try previewing any object, like product:
