Shopify Code editor problem

Retired Boards Appdev Store Design

Topic summary

  • Issue: A Shopify developer reports that clicking “Edit code” now opens a different code editor across all client and development stores and on multiple devices, and wants the previous editor (shown in a second screenshot).

  • Context: Two screenshots compare the current editor with the preferred older editor; no error messages are mentioned. Images are central to understanding the difference.

  • Update: A respondent explains Shopify has upgraded the code editor styling, and the same new editor is being shown to all users.

  • Outcome: No workaround or setting to revert to the prior editor was provided; the change appears to be an intentional platform-wide update rather than a local issue. The discussion effectively concludes without a method to restore the old editor.

Hello mate, I’m Md Habibur Rahman Shanto. I’m working as a Shopify Developer. I have trouble with the Shopify code editor. when I click “edit code” it’s going to a different code editor which I’ve not comfortable with this. It’s happened for all of my client stores and my development store also. I’m trying to solve this but I haven’t gotten any documentary like this issue. I’m trying to do it with my other laptop but it’s happened similarly. Would you please help me to solve these issues?

Thanks in advance​:heart::heart::heart:

Hi @Shanto36

Shopify upgraded the code editor styling. Now, this same code editor is appearing to all.
