Design a fully bespoke store with Canvas

Canvas is a new design surface for your online store. Every page is laid out together in one interactive, infinite workspace, so you can see how your whole store feels and work on any part of it in context.

In Canvas, you can:
* Pan across every page of your store and zoom in on any detail
* Click any element to edit it directly, or tell Sidekick what you want in the chat
* See Sidekick's changes land in real time, from a single section to a store-wide redesign
* Preview the real, working store, with interactions, animations, and different products, collections, and screen sizes
* Canvas is rolling out to existing stores over the coming days. Go to Online Store > Themes to create a new theme in Canvas, or duplicate a Shopify theme or custom theme in Canvas. Your original theme stays in the current theme editor.

At launch, Canvas doesn't support third-party themes from the Shopify Theme Store, Markets, rollouts, translations, or app blocks and app embeds. Themes edited in Canvas don't receive theme updates.
