THEME DOCTOR / PRODUCT

Guided Repair

Know what a repair is meant to change—and what it must preserve. Guided Repair is designed for targets with sufficient source-bound proof and independent repair certification.

UNDER THE SURFACE

Safer theme changes require a narrow plan, clear boundaries, preservation requirements, and an evidence-based explanation before a merchant edits anything live.

What this means for your theme

01

Only eligible targets

A possible fix is not automatically safe. Targets must pass the relevant compiler, simulation, dependency, and repair-certification checks.

02

Reviewable steps

Understand the exact scope and intended outcome of a compiled repair plan, including what should not change.

03

You stay in control

Theme Doctor never automatically edits, deletes, or publishes a merchant's live Shopify theme. Merchants execute every live edit manually.

How it fits into Theme Doctor

  1. 01

    Prove and prepare

    Translate a candidate into source-bound proof, compile a bounded plan, and simulate when required.

  2. 02

    Merchant makes the edit

    Follow the certified target-specific instructions in Shopify, preserving unrelated code and customizations.

  3. 03

    Recheck the result

    Use fresh verification to establish what actually changed after the edit.

Grounded in evidence

A merchant clicking Done doesn't prove the repair succeeded. Unresolved ownership, dependencies, boundaries, or preservation concerns can block certification.

YOUR THEME, BETTER UNDERSTOOD

Know your theme. Fix what matters.
