This article shows you how to keep more than one design for your shop and move between them.
Use it before you try a new template, and before any big change you might want to undo.
Before you start
Saving and opening designs needs the Customize Store Appearance permission.
Your plan sets how many designs you can keep. The panel always shows how many you have saved.
Opening a design changes your draft only. Your live shop stays exactly as it is until you publish.
Step 1. Open the designs panel
In the Live Page Builder, in the Global group at the bottom of the section list, choose My designs & templates. The note at the top tells you what the page you are looking at came from: one of your designs, a theme, or your own edits.
The note at the top always says what the page you are looking at came from.
Step 2. Save what is on the page
Type a name in Design name and press Save this design. Everything on the page is kept: colours, fonts, sections, photos, the header and the footer.
Under the button a line shows how many designs you have saved, and how many your plan allows.
Save this design keeps everything on the page, and counts how many designs you have saved.
Step 3. Open another design
Click any design under My designs and it opens on the page. The work in the design you are leaving stays with it, so switching is safe. If the page holds work that belongs to no design, a box tells you before anything changes, so you can save it first.
Click any card under My designs and that design opens on the page.
Step 4. Read the badges
Published marks the design your shoppers see right now. Editing Mode marks the one open on the page. Edited means the page has changed since that design was last saved.
Editing Mode marks the design open on the page; Published marks the one your shoppers see.
Step 5. Look at one without opening it
Preview opens that design on your storefront in a new tab. Nothing on your page and nothing on your live shop changes.
Preview opens that design on your storefront in a new tab, changing nothing.
Step 6. Update, duplicate, rename or delete
Update asks first, then overwrites the design with what is on the page now. Duplicate makes a copy, Rename changes its name, and Delete asks first, then removes it for good. Your live store and your draft are not affected.
The design you are working on cannot be deleted. Open another one first.
Update overwrites a design with the page as it is now; Duplicate, Rename and Delete sit beside it.
Step 7. Start from a template
Browse templates opens Templates, with Search templates, an All business types filter, and the All, Free and Premium tabs. Pick one and press Open it. It opens on your page as a design of your own, and the work in the design you were on is kept.
A template your plan does not include shows Upgrade. Open full marketplace takes you to the Theme Store.
Browse templates opens the gallery with a search box, a business-type filter and the free and premium tabs.
Result
You can try a whole new look without losing the one you liked, see at a glance which design your customers see, and go back to any of them in one click.
