Custom Theme Development Now Has A Local Dev Loop

Theme developers now have a local development environment for custom themes, including live reload and real CMS data. Theme rendering support means development work can happen closer to production behaviour before a theme is uploaded and tested on a live tenant.

Faster iteration

Previously, theme development required repeated upload-and-refresh cycles to see changes against real content. The local dev loop removes that friction: changes are reflected immediately against real CMS data.

Closer to production

Themes can be iterated against real content without simulated data or placeholder values. The development experience is significantly closer to what production renders, which means fewer surprises at launch.
