Publish themes

You can preview your theme in the production environment (see Manage themes), make updates, and upload new versions (see Manage theme versions) before you publish a theme to your storefront. If it is a component-based theme, you can also modify it in the Storefront Builder before publishing (see Work with the Storefront Builder).

When you publish a theme, the storefront theme is updated immediately. The theme on the Theme Manager page is updated with a new status, date, time, and publisher name. You can expand the Published History and History links (see View theme history) to see when a theme or theme version was published.
