How do I add a new product template in Impulse version 3.5.0

Topic summary

A user cannot locate the “Create Template” button in the product section of Impulse theme version 3.5.0’s customization interface. Screenshots show the customizer sidebar without the expected template creation option.

Initial Troubleshooting:

  • Two respondents suggested scrolling down in the customizer to find the button, providing screenshots showing where it typically appears
  • The original poster confirmed via additional screenshots that scrolling does not reveal the button in their interface

Workaround Solution:
A community member provided an alternative method:

  1. Access the theme code editor (Shopify admin → Online Store → Themes → Actions → Edit Code)
  2. Navigate to the Templates folder and use “Add a new template”
  3. Select “Product” type, name it (e.g., product.custom), and base it on the default template
  4. Assign the new template to products via Products admin → Online store → Theme template

The issue remains unresolved regarding why the standard UI button is missing, but a code-based workaround has been offered.

I attempted to add a new product template in Impulse version 3.5.0, but the “Create Template” button isn’t visible in the product section of the theme customisation page. Could you advise how I can add a new product template by duplicating an existing one? Thank you.
