# Install the theme

> Add Puggy to your store, preview it, and publish when you are ready.

You can add Puggy to your store without changing what your customers see. A new theme arrives **unpublished**: you can edit and preview it while your current theme stays live.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open your themes">
    In your Shopify admin, go to **Online Store → Themes**.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add Puggy">
    If you bought Puggy from the Shopify Theme Store, click **Add to theme library** on its Theme Store page. If you have the ZIP file, click **Import → Upload zip file** under Draft themes and choose it. Do not unzip it first.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Preview and customize">
    Click **Customize** to open the theme editor, or **⋯ → Preview** to see it as a customer would. Nothing changes on your live store until you publish.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Publish when you are ready">
    Click **⋯ → Publish**. Your previous theme stays in the library, so you can switch back at any time.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>Before publishing, preview on your phone as well as your computer, add a product to the cart, open quick view, and try a search with no results.</Tip>
