Theme Editor¶
Everything you need to do inside Shopify's theme editor — which is intentionally minimal. Parts Diagram puts visual / interaction configuration in the embedded admin so the theme editor stays clean.
| Page | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Add the block | Drop the Parts Diagram block onto your product template |
| API base URL | The single setting in the block. When to leave blank, when to override |
| Troubleshooting | Block missing, doesn't render, wrong styling |
Why the theme editor only has one setting¶
In early versions, the theme editor block exposed every visual toggle (layout, hover effect, show prices, show SKU, etc.). This created two sources of truth — a merchant could change "Show prices" in the theme editor and see no effect, because the shop-level setting silently overrode it.
To eliminate that confusion, all visual / interaction config now lives exclusively in Settings → Storefront. The theme editor block exposes only the API base URL, which is a per-deployment infrastructure setting — see API base URL.
