Refresh a live Website Theme deliberately.
Prepare a Theme draft for a live Website, compare the active result, and activate it only after the visible change is reviewed.
Build around this situation.
Use your own accurate details and check the result as you go. You can return to the relevant Website editor to make corrections.
Capture the active baseline
Record the Pages, shared parts, and important states visitors use today.
Prepare and preview the draft
Make supported changes, compare the same content, and check desktop and mobile behavior.
Activate and recheck
Make the reviewed Theme live, then open the public Website and verify the expected result.
Illustrative exampleWhat a useful result looks like
- The result
- You can compare the proposed look with the content visitors already use.
- What to check
- Review before activation and check the public Website afterward; do not rely on the draft preview alone.
Adapt the example to your Website and review the result before moving to the next task.
Keep a rollback-friendly record
Name the version and Pages reviewed so the owner can understand what changed if a follow-up is needed.
Coordinate Page and Theme states
A Theme refresh can go live separately from a saved Page; check both states when they change together.
Before you continue
Refreshing a live Theme does not guarantee a perfect result on every Page, publish unsaved content, or release a Marketplace product.
