Use the theme editor

Product media placeholder

Replace this area with a screenshot or short walkthrough video during the media sweep.

Edit website theme files, preview changes, and publish updates through the workspace review flow.

What this feature is for

  • The theme editor is for deeper website changes that affect templates, components, styles, or page structure.
  • Use it when a visual page edit is not enough and the site needs a reusable theme-level update.

When to use it

  • Navigation, footer, layout, styles, or repeated components need an update.
  • A page template should change for several pages at once.
  • AI prepares a theme change that needs human review before publishing.

Do it manually

  1. Open Website or Theme Editor.
  2. Choose the page, component, style, or template file to update.
  3. Make a focused change and save the draft.
  4. Preview the affected pages on desktop and mobile.
  5. Publish only after the public pages match the preview.

Ask Faster AI

Update the services page template to use clearer section spacing, keep the brand style consistent, and show me the changed files before publishing.

Review before saving or publishing

  • Preview every page type affected by the theme change.
  • Avoid hardcoding business data that should remain editable in content or plugin settings.
  • Check forms, navigation, buttons, and mobile layout before publishing.

Common mistakes and fixes

  • If a change affects more pages than expected, review whether it belongs in a component or page only.
  • If preview looks stale, refresh the branch and preview again.
  • If a page breaks after publish, use the previous checkpoint or branch history to recover.
