Publishing themes
You can add up to 20 themes to your online store, but only one theme can be published at a time. A published theme is the theme that customers view when they visit your online store. Your published theme displays at the top of the Themes page with a Current theme badge. Your unpublished themes appear in the Draft themes section.
If you publish a new theme, then your previously published theme moves to the Draft themes section. None of your theme changes are lost.
