Shopify Liquid Coding - Shopify's New Code Editor - Beginners Guide (for non-developers)

A quick-start guide to Shopify's new code editor that was released in August 2025. The new editor is based on VS Code - a tool for professional developers, so it has many options and features that are confusing to non-technical users. However, most of those can be ignored. You can use it effectively knowing just a few basics. 1. *Search for files* using Cmd+P 2. *Search inside a file* using Cmd+F 3. *Search inside ALL files* using Cmd+Shift+F 4. Press Enter to *rename a file* 5. Right click on a file → Open Timeline to *see version history* 1. On the left is the old version, on the right is current version. Highlighted in green are your additions, and in red your deletions. 2. Right click on a version → *Restore Contents* to go back to that version 6. Cmd+Shift+P and search 'format' to *format a document* and make it pretty 7. Right Click → Select for *Compare* , then select another file Compare with Selected. Useful when you duplicated a file to work on. 8. Gear Icon → Settings to *change font size* 9. Gear icon → Themes to *change color theme* This is actually VS Code for the web running inside the Shopify admin.
