📖 The Template Library in Boost provides a centralized hub for managing all your store's Boost templates. Whether you need to customize templates, update designs, or switch between versions, the Template Library makes it easy to maintain consistent and optimized layouts across your store.


How to access templates in your Library

Your Template Library contains all the templates you've added. The library allows for easy management, including previewing, customizing, duplicating, renaming, or removing templates.

Preview

Click the three-dot icon menu on the right side of the current theme > select Preview. This action will open a preview screen of your storefront for the selected theme in a new tab.


Customize

Click the three-dot icon menu on the right side of a template > Select Customize. This will open the Visual Editor tool, where you can customize the typography, colors, product grid, etc., according to your preference.

⚠️ A template linked to multiple themes will apply its UI changes to all associated themes. For separate customization, duplicate the template and link it individually to each theme.


Duplicate

Click the three-dot icon menu on the right side of a template > Select Duplicate. A clone version of the original template will be added to your library with "Copy of" added before its original name.

⚠️ Your library can hold up to 25 templates. If this limit is reached, the Duplicate option will be disabled. To add new templates, please remove any that are not in use.


Rename

Click the three-dot icon menu on the right side of a template > Select Edit Name. You can change the name in the Edit template name popup > then click the Save button.

⚠️ The maximum number of characters allowed is 50.


Remove

Click the three-dot icon menu on the right side of a template > Select Remove to delete it from your library > click Remove again to confirm your decision.

⚠️ Templates linked to your live theme cannot be removed. Deleting a template also removes its link from any associated unpublished themes, with a prompt for confirmation.


Change

Click the three-dot icon menu on the right side of a template in the list > select Change to switch the current template to a new one > click Yes to confirm.

⚠️ This option is not available for your Current template.

💡 Once you update the template, the corresponding template ID within our core application will automatically refresh to align with your new selection. Verify the updated ID by navigating to the Go to Boost Core option.


Add new template

Click the Add new template button in the upper right corner to add more templates to your Library.

Afterward, follow the steps from Choose your template to finish adding a new template.


Update template

To access Template Library, go to our app Dashboard > Integration menu > Template libary.

When an update is available, click the notification under your preferred template to start the updating process.

Click Add latest version to start updating or View release notes to see what's new from our update.

⚠️ When you update your template, any customizations you've made using the Visual Editor will be carried over to the new version. This includes changes to:

  • Changing Visual Editor settings

  • Altering page layouts, such as adding, reordering, removing, or hiding elements or sections

  • Creating new layouts

  • Making changes to wording on your online store using the Visual Editor

⚠️ Important: If you have made any custom code changes directly in the Code Editor that may conflict with the new theme version, please be aware that these customizations will not be automatically carried over to the updated template. To ensure your custom code is preserved, you will need to manually copy these changes to the new theme version after the update.
