How to create a Share Preview link using the Shopify Online Theme Editor
When working with an unpublished theme or better known as a draft theme, you can send out a Share preview link which allows anyone who has the link to preview your work/site. Share preview links expire after a certain number of days and are randomly generated by Shopify.
This is a great tool for getting feedback from anyone who needs to view your site before it's live or to view a concept version of your existing site
Copy this link to send to our Support Staff - Not the URL in your browser:

  • Choose Preview
  • When the new preview window appears, choose the green Share preview button at the bottom of your browser.
  • The popup window will display a link (middle of your screen).

Notes

Share preview links expire after a certain number of days and are randomly generated by Shopify.
If you're using a live published theme, the preview option will appear as View. This indicates you are currently on the live site. A Preview share link can only be created from a draft theme which is not published.
