How to Preview Highlights on an Unpublished Shopify Theme

Before publishing a new Shopify theme, you can preview how Highlights look on product pages — without affecting your live storefront.

Before You Begin

  • Install the Smart App on your Shopify store.
  • Have an unpublished (draft) theme ready in Online Store > Themes.
  • Add Highlights integration to the unpublished theme (via app blocks or integration code).

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes.
  2. Find your unpublished theme in the Theme library section.
  3. Click Customize or Preview on the unpublished theme.
  4. Navigate to a product page in the theme preview.
  5. Confirm that Highlight Boxes appear in the expected location with the correct content and styling.

Note: Additional information is required here to complete this documentation. The original source article did not include detailed step-by-step content for this topic.

Expected Result

You can review Highlights on the unpublished theme and make adjustments before making the theme live.

Important Notes

  • Highlights must be integrated into the unpublished theme separately — they do not appear automatically.
  • Highlight content is managed in the Smart App dashboard and applies across themes once integrated.
