How do I preview a template and see what carries over?

Where: Settings → Site & brand → Change template

Open this page: admin.<your-site>/settings/template (replace <your-site> with your site address)

Before you start

• You need the owner or an admin account.

Steps

1. Open Settings → Site & brand → Change template.
2. Look at each template card. A badge says Current template, In your plan or Not in your plan. Arrives with the preview means the template is fetched when you start a preview.
3. Press Preview in this template on the one you want.
4. When the preview is ready, open What carries over. It says, for example, "5 kept · 2 adjusted · 1 can't carry over".
5. Each area is marked Kept, Adjusted or Can't carry over. Areas: Home page, Ad place, Menu, Colours and logo, Fonts, Texts, Your own code.

Good to know

• Typical reasons you may see: "Your earlier home page for this template comes back.", "The new template has no matching section.", "The new template has no such ad place.", "The template's fonts are used (you didn't pick your own)." and "Kept. Check it in the preview: it may target the old design."
• If no other template is available, the page says "No other templates are available for your site yet."
