Manage page templates

This guide explains how to manage page templates in the Genstore theme editor. You can create, assign, and switch templates for different page types, allowing you to tailor layouts and content for specific products, collections, blogs, and more.

Access the page management panel

1. In your admin, go to Online store -> Themes.
2. Click Customize on your current theme.
3. In the left toolbar, click the first icon to open the Page management panel.

Overview of the page management panel

The page management panel includes the following sections:

• Page type list: Displays all page types that support custom templates (e.g. home, product, collection, blog). Some types support expandable sub-sections to show assigned templates and related pages.
• Template list & creation: Create multiple templates under each page type. Click Create template to add a new one and name it.
  • Assigned preview: View how many pages are using each template (e.g. Assigned to 5 products) and click to preview or edit.
• Search bar: Use the search bar to find templates or pages, including unassigned ones, for quick actions.

Create and assign a new template

1. In Page management, expand the page type you need (for example, product page).
2. Click Create theme, enter the name, and choose the base template, then click Confirm.
3. The system will redirect you to the newly created template page, where you can edit the content.
4. After editing, click Save.

Fuzzy search and assign contents

1. In the search bar at the top of Page management, enter a keyword. The system will return matching page names or template names.
2. From the filtered results, assign the related content. For example, in a product template, click Assign product, select the target product in the pop-up window, and complete the assignment.

Tips for managing templates

• Use clear template names: Label templates by purpose or content. Currently, only numbers, letters, and hyphens (-) are supported.
• Reuse templates when possible: Assign one template to multiple pages that share the same layout needs.
• Preview before publishing: Use the top-right Preview button in the editor to verify the assigned layout and content.
