Question 1

Can I keep multiple themes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Themes can be installed, duplicated, renamed, and retained; only the published theme is used as the current live version.

Question 2

Can I edit theme code?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The code workspace supports reading, searching, saving, creating, renaming, deleting, and uploading files, with version history available.

Question 3

Can I use a Shopify theme directly?

Accepted Answer

The platform can import theme ZIP files and convert common structures, but templates, scripts, and app dependencies vary. Every migrated theme must be validated before launch.

Question 4

Do setting changes affect the live store immediately?

Accepted Answer

You can configure and preview a non-live theme before publishing. Exact save behavior depends on the theme editor and the theme’s current state.

Question 5

Does the theme control all mobile behavior?

Accepted Answer

The theme controls most responsive structure and presentation, while product data, checkout, and market rules come from platform services. Common device sizes should be tested before publishing.
