# Preview menu on draft theme

​To preview your mega menu before making it live on your Shopify store, follow these steps:

### 1. Duplicate your live theme

Creating a duplicate of your current live theme allows you to test changes without affecting your live store.​

* In your Shopify admin, go to **Online Store** > **Themes**.​
* Find your current live theme, click **Actions**, and select **Duplicate**.

### 2. **Disable App Embed on the live theme**

To prevent conflicts during testing, you should disable the **App Embed** on the live theme:

* In **Shopify Admin**, go to **Online Store** > **Themes**.
* On the **Live Theme**, click **Customize**.
* Go to **App Embed**.
* Find the **Globo Mega Menu** app and **turn it off**.

(*Note: This step ensures the menu does not appear on both the live and duplicated themes simultaneously.*)

### 3. Publish the mega menu on the duplicated theme

Once you have a duplicated theme, you can publish the mega menu to this version to preview it.​

* Open the Globo Mega Menu app in your Shopify admin.​
* Click on **Publish**.​
* Select the duplicated theme from the list.​
* Click **Publish** to apply the mega menu to the duplicated theme.

### 4. Preview the duplicated theme

After publishing the mega menu on the duplicated theme:

* In your Shopify admin, go to **Online Store** > **Themes**.
* Find the duplicated theme and click **Preview** to see how the mega menu appears.​

By following these steps, you can safely preview and adjust your mega menu before applying it to your live theme.​
