Handling Accidental Theme Modifications in Guide

Learn what steps to take if you accidentally modify your theme in Zendesk Guide to keep your versions in sync.

What should I do if I accidentally modify my theme in Guide?

If you accidentally modify your theme in Guide, it's important to download the updated theme and check those changes into your version control system. This ensures that your local and Guide versions remain in sync.

Continuing to make changes locally and using version control systems like git or mercurial is recommended. If you have a GitHub integration, be aware that making changes directly in Guide will break the integration, and you'll need to set it up again. For more information, refer to theWorking on a theme locally.
