I am going to be switching from a free theme to a paid theme soon and I’m wondering if my edits to a paid theme while in “trial mode” will save once I purchase it and activate it? Thanks.

Hey, @dm85 ! Welcome to Shopify Community!
Any changes you make to a paid theme that’s on trial mode are saved when you purchase the theme, so you’re welcome to continue designing it and setting it up before you decide to commit to it. Once you’re set on using the theme or you’re ready to publish it, you may purchase this theme by following the steps below.
-
In your Shopify admin, click Online store underneath Sales channels to go to the Themes page.
-
Scroll to the Theme library section and click Buy beside the theme you wish to purchase.
Since we’re on the topic of themes, I thought I’d share a few resources that you may want to look at. Feel free to check them out if you need help designing your store for success.
