Introduction
Navigate to: CMS > Store Experience
In the Store Experience section, Administrators can configure a store’s theme, store-specific visuals, and widgets for their stores.
Znode uses a default theme for one or multiple stores. The default theme includes several pages that can assist administrators in creating and launching a store. Administrators can download a theme from the themes section, which can act as a template to create a custom theme, and can also add/modify Pages, CSS, or Widgets based on requirements. After a new theme is built, add it to Znode via CMS > Site Themes.
Note - Wrapper Widgets To Configure Content Containers - A new type of Container z-widget is introduced in Znode version 9.7.2 that can be used to associate any content container with CMS pages or generic Store Experience pages that has the z-widget available).
