What Is Theme Sync

Theme Sync keeps live operational data authoritative. WPFlow publishes approved code and selected governed content/configuration changes only when they are scoped, verified, and rollback-covered.

Short Explanation

Theme Sync is the governed publish mode for live-data sites where live operational data stays authoritative.

  • It is a strong fit for WooCommerce and other sites with regular live operational changes.
  • It still supports selected content/configuration promotion when governed coverage is proven.
  • It requires evidence, rollback coverage, and client-approved publish.
