How to make theme design changes in Magento Commerce 2. 

One of the many benefits of utilizing Magento for your eCommerce site is that Magento allows users to make minor or even temporary changes to your theme’s design without having to override everything on a system level.

While we’ve gone in depth before about adding design changes in the Magento admin panel, there are some changes to the process with Magento 2.

Applying Global Design Changes

To apply a scheduled Global Design change, start by going to Content > Design > Schedule.

Once you select your store and specify the design change, select your From and To dates. Then simply save and watch your design changes appear on your site as scheduled.

First, use the left navigation menu to go to Products > Categories.
