Auto Theme Sync — Shopify theme file sync
Auto Theme Sync

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the questions we hear most. If yours isn't covered here, email support@bobacu.io and we'll get back the same business day.

Will syncing overwrite my live theme by accident?

No. Every sync shows a diff preview first and nothing is written until you confirm. Files that are identical between source and target are skipped automatically.

What about my customizer settings?

config/settings_data.json and config/settings_schema.json are excluded by default so the target theme's customizer settings are never touched. You can edit the exclude list from the Settings page.

Can I undo a sync?

Yes, on the Pro plan. Every sync stores the prior contents of each affected file, and you can roll back the entire run from the History page. The free plan does not include rollback.

How fast is a sync?

The app paces itself against the Shopify Admin API rate limit, so a theme with hundreds of files typically finishes in a couple of minutes. Progress streams in real time while it runs.

Can I schedule syncs?

Yes, on the Pro plan. Save a source theme, target themes, and file selection as a sync profile, then run it on demand or on an hourly, daily, or weekly schedule.

How many themes can I sync to at once?

The free plan syncs to one target theme per run, up to 5 runs per month. The Pro plan removes both limits.

Does the app work with theme apps and app blocks?

Yes. Auto Theme Sync copies the underlying Liquid, JSON template, and asset files. App embeds and app blocks defined in those files carry over with the rest of the theme.

What permissions does the app need?

Read and write access to themes. We do not request access to customers, orders, products, or any other shop data.

What happens to my data if I uninstall?

Uninstalling revokes the OAuth token and triggers automatic deletion of all data we hold for your shop. See the privacy policy for details.
