Release Readiness
Make staging prove the customer journey before publication
A release is ready when content, routes, Shopify page records and the responsive experience agree. Passing a code check is necessary but not sufficient.
Release checklist
- Upload the theme as an unpublished build.
- Create and assign every required Shopify page and article record.
- Check global header, footer and capability navigation.
- Open every homepage capability link and related-page link.
- Verify Insights rails using published tagged articles.
- Test desktop, a real phone, keyboard navigation and reduced motion.
- Confirm install, contact, privacy and policy destinations.
Publish deliberately
Record the theme version and retain the previous published theme as the immediate rollback point.
