How Do I Preview Changes in Shopify?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 3:30 am

If you’re running a shop on Shopify, you might want to know how to preview changes before they go live. Luckily, Shopify makes it easy to do just that.

In the Shopify admin, there are two ways to preview changes. The first is to use the “Preview” button that’s located at the top of each page. This will open up a new tab where you can see what the page will look like with your changes.

PRO TIP: If you are not careful when previewing changes in Shopify, you could unintentionally make live changes to your store that you cannot undo. Always double-check your work before publishing any changes.

The second way to preview changes is to use the “View” button located next to the “Preview” button. This will take you to a live version of the page, but with a notice at the top that says “This is a preview of your store.” From here, you can click on any link in your store and it will take you to the live version of that page.

So, whether you’re making changes to your products, collections, or pages, be sure to use the “Preview” button first so you can see what those changes will look like before they go live.
