By default, Locksmith will only automatically install itself to and update itself on the currently published theme, and does not automatically install itself to unpublished themes. However, there is a way to test Locksmith on unpublished themes.
- Head to the in-app "Themes" page.
- Click the "Install" button for the theme you'd like to test Locksmith on:
- To preview the lock configuration you just installed, click the three-dot menu (…) next to the theme name, and select Preview:
When testing your locks on unpublished or the currently published theme, we recommend using a brand new private browsing session each time:

{% hint style="info" %}
Please note: when making changes to your locks and Locksmith settings, Locksmith will only update those on the currently published theme.
To update the unpublished theme after making changes in-app, just click the "Install" button for that theme next to the theme name again, as outlined above.
{% endhint %}
- Head to the in-app "Themes" page.
- Click the "Uninstall" button for the theme you'd like to remove Locksmith from:
Locksmith supports setting a Secondary theme, which receives automatic updates along with your published theme when changes are made in Locksmith.
- In the Unpublished themes section, locate the theme you want to set as a secondary theme.
- Click the three-dot menu (…) next to the theme name.
- Select Set as secondary theme:
This theme will now receive all future updates made in Locksmith, in addition to the published theme.
