We’re having difficulty pinpointing the exact location where the theme-editor.js file is being invoked in the Dawn Theme files. While the file exists in the assets folder and the script runs successfully in design mode, we’re uncertain about its initial file loading within the theme files.

Any assistance you could provide on this matter would be greatly appreciated guys. Thank you!
