    Appearance – Editor – Template – Single Articles:
    there is the possibility to change the appearance of the page of the Single Article
    , it leaves me only the doubt that, by modifying this page of the template via the on editor, i would not want that at the first update of the theme i’ll find the page with is by default: white background, contents in the center.
    I wonder what changes would be saved and maintained even in case of updates ..

    I recommend reaching out to your theme’s support for specifics, but any edits made in the Site Editor will survive theme updates (unless the theme is drastically updated, which I haven’t seen happen yet).

    That was one of the main drives in creating Block Themes and the Site Editor. ??

    Hi @robye,

    Are you referring to the instance where, when a theme is updated, your edits will be overwritten or gone?

    If yes, then the best solution for this is to use a child theme. Whenever the parent theme is updated, the edits that you have made will be preserved.

    You can follow this step-by-step guide on how to create a child theme.

     Hope this helps.

    Regards,
    Jerry

    You’ll only need a Child Theme if you’re directly editing theme files.

    Block Themes and the Site Editor are designed to preserve changes through theme edits as long as you’re not directly editing files.

    Thanks, actually i didn’t directly edit the theme files but only from the editor where allowed, so (i cross my fingers) they should also be preserved through updates.
    Is it possible that the changes that might be lost are those inside the editor of the pattern or block where a lock appears , or i’m wrong?

    Again, any updates made through the SIte Editor will survive theme updates. Block Themes and the Site Editor are designed to preserve changes through theme edits as long as you’re not directly editing files.
