Sub-Account Themes [QLearn]

[JadynTHONE]

Hi all! I've created a theme in a sub-account. I cannot find a way to enable this theme in the main account as the theme does not appear (either as a template tab or in the +Theme option). Is my only course of action now to copy every single field manually and reupload all images to a new theme in the main account? Thank you in advance.

Hi @JadynTHONE ...

Based on this Guide, How do I manage themes for an account?, it is my understanding that sub-account themes do not carry over into the main root account.  However, the opposite is true.  If you had customized a theme at the main root account, it would carry over into any of your sub-accounts.  But, if you then made some tweaks to a sub-account theme, those changes would only apply to that sub-account (and any sub-accounts that might be below it).  Taking a look at the last sentence of the second paragraph in the light blue box of the Guide I linked to above, it says, "When the Theme Editor is enabled for sub-accounts, any design elements they do not specifically change will inherit the account level design."

I hope this is helpful for you.  Sing out if you have any questions about this.  Thanks!

Hi Chris, thank you I had read that article and I did understand that making changes to sub-accounts do not affect the main account. Unfortunately, I made the theme in the sub-account prior to reading the article, otherwise I would not have made the theme in the sub-account.

My question is - do I have to remake this theme in the main account, or is there a way to get these theme (made in a sub-account) to the main account?

Hi @JadynTHONE,

I don't know of any way to transfer a theme from one account to another, so I think you're going to have to recreate the theme in the higher up account
