# Manage your Themes

How to access on Fynd Commerce 
Commerce Panel → Sales Channel (select application) → Theme → Store Design

This covers the lifecycle of a theme: finding and installing one, switching to a different theme, keeping it up to date, and removing themes you no longer use. For editing the active theme, see [Get Started](/commerce/docs/manage-website/appearance/theme-editor/get-started).

## Understanding theme states

When you open Store Design, your themes appear in three categories:

| State | What it means |
|  --- | --- |
| Active Theme | The theme currently live on your storefront. Customers see this theme. |
| Theme Draft | A theme you are working on but have not yet published. Changes here don't affect the live store. |
| Theme Collection | All themes installed in your organisation: active, drafts, and unused themes. |


## Installing a theme

iframe
Themes are installed from the Fynd marketplace.

1. Go to **Commerce Panel → Sales Channel → Theme → Store Design**.
2. Click **Explore Themes** to explore the [themes marketplace](https://themes.fynd.com/themes) or browse the marketplace section.
3. Find a theme you want and click **Try Now**.
4. Review the theme details and preview.
5. If applicable, choose which sales channels should receive a draft of this theme.
6. Confirm the installation.


The theme appears in your Theme Collection as a draft. It is not live until you publish it.

## Switching your active theme

iframe
Switching your active theme changes what customers see on your storefront.

1. Go to **Commerce Panel → Sales Channel → Theme → Store Design**.
2. In your Theme Collection, find the theme you want to switch to.
3. Click **Preview** to see how it looks with your store's content.
4. If satisfied, click **Publish**.
5. Confirm the change when prompted.


The selected theme becomes your new Active Theme immediately after publishing.

## Updating a theme to a new version

Theme developers release updates that may include new sections, bug fixes, or performance improvements. When an update is available, a notification appears in Store Design.

1. Go to **Store Design** and look for the update notification on your active theme.
2. Click **Update Available** option. This is visible only when the theme draft is not the latest version of the theme.
3. Click **Update** to apply the new version.
4. The new updated theme gets added as a theme draft.
5. Publish the newly updated theme draft to make the newly updated live.


## Removing a theme

iframe
Removing a theme uninstalls it from your entire organisation. This can't be undone.

1. Go to **Company Settings → Theme**
2. Find the theme you want to remove in the installed themes list.
3. Click **Remove** next to the theme.
4. Confirm the removal.
