Before you decide to publish a new theme for your store, you might want to seek some feedback from others. By creating a preview link, you can share the access of a preview of the Shopify theme that you’ve added to your admin page, and they can send you some feedback to help you make the right decision. This link remains active for 14 days. After 14 days, you can create new links without affecting your old one.

To help you get started, here are some steps on how to share a theme preview with others on Shopify by using Desktop, iPhone, and Android.

Step 1: Select Themes from Shopify Admin

The first thing you do after login into your Shopify account is selecting the Themes section which is inside the Online store section.
