How can I undo my theme template changes?

Sometimes you need to get the original copy of a theme file back. With all files (except ones in the assets/ folder), Shopify gives you the ability to restore the original file that came with the theme.

This is handy if you've made some edits to a file and need to revert them to a previous file version. Sometimes it's an app that injects code into a file and breaks something.

How do you know what files have been edited in your theme? You can notice which theme files are edited with a small purple dot:

How do you know what files have been edited in your theme?

If you don't see any dots, it's likely because you duplicated your theme so it thinks it is brand new.

Shopify has a built-in feature for this which you can find instructions for here:

Roll back to an older version of your theme

Note: It is not possible to rollback to previous versions of files in your assets folder, like CSS, JavaScript, JSON or image files. If you are planning to edit these, please make a backup first.
