I am new. I chose a theme (dawn) I don’t like it and its not working for me. I have varied merchandise and don’t understand the layout. Can I switch it out even though I have already done some work on DAWN and saved it?
If i can switch it out…how do I do it.
If I am able to switch it out. Will I have to do it over from scratch?
Help ASAP I have been sinking and ready to quit for a week now.
Hello there,
Yes, you can switch to a new theme by publishing it to your online store. You would need to generally make new customizations as each theme has different layouts and sections.
Rest assured, all of the pages that you created can be easily linked to your new theme. For instance, your About Us page, Blogs, or any sort of page created from your admin. Your images should also be saved so you can easily upload them to the new sections on your themes.
Please do let me know in the thread if this was helpful.

Hi there, @GSE1 !
Welcome to the Community! Definitely a great place to gather some input regarding anything about the platform! We have a great group of contributors who are always willing to provide their own expertise and experience with regards to Shopify!
As you can already see, @ReturnPrime provided a great help document to help you in this matter.
For more context, you can add up to 20 themes to your online store, but only one theme can be published at a time. A published theme is the theme that customers see when they visit your online store. Your published theme appears in the Current theme section of the Themes page, and your unpublished themes appear in the Theme library section. Basically, yes, you have the ability to switch through different themes.
I also wanted to add that if you happen to choose another Shopify theme to work with, you may qualify for 60 mins of design time from our themes team. For more information on this, please visit this link as well.
Definitely let us know how this works out for you.
Yes, this does work for me. I am looking forward to working with you as this is convenient and so glad you were prompt in answering back. I love that you care!
Much appreciated. You will be hearing from me!
Yes, extremely helpful. Glad to know there really is someone who can help and understands the frustration of just starting out. Replied to another community member that I am so glad that you guys care.
I love it. I was so frustrated and shaky with this but now I feel like someone has my back.
Much appreciated…really!
Thank you for those kind words, @GSE1 !
