### Step 3: Test the Integration

After integrating the app, it's crucial to test its functionality:​

* Navigate to a collection page on your storefront.​
* Ensure that the filter sidebar appears and functions correctly.​
* Verify that products are filtered as expected when using the filter options.​

> 📝 This will turn off the filter on your storefront without removing any theme code.
