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When working with an unpublished theme or better known as a draft theme, you can send out a Share preview link which allows anyone who has the link to preview your work/site.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

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.
