Publishing themes
You can add up to 20 themes to your online store, but only one theme can be published at a time. A published theme is the theme that customers view when they visit your online store. Your published theme is displayed at the top of the Online Store page, with your store's domain and the date it was last saved. Your unpublished themes are displayed in the Draft themes section.
If you publish a new theme, then your previously published theme moves to the Draft themes section. None of your theme changes are lost.
Publishing a theme doesn't change your store's access. If your store is in private mode, then the confirmation dialog states that your store remains private after you publish.
