Cubes

The cube list

Every cube in your Space. Search it, or filter by type, tag or Structure. Publish state shows in the Content column below.

Search matches a cube’s title or handle in any language, its description, its tags, and its product’s title or brand. Paste a cube ID or Shopify product ID to find that exact cube. Results come best match first until you sort by a column. The cube pickers elsewhere in Admin search the same way.

Open a cube by clicking its Title. Clicking the rest of the row selects it for a bulk action instead of opening it. Hold Shift and click another row or checkbox to select every cube between that click and the one you last selected.

Type, structure, and tag pills in the list also filter it. Click the same pill again to clear that filter.

Bulk actions let you apply a change across several cubes at once. Check the result on one before doing it to fifty.

Right-click a row, or open its More actions menu, to open the cube or its preview, change its publish or Feed state, publish draft blocks, add a block, set its score or tags, or delete it. Add block is also on the selection bar. See Add a block. If the row is part of a selection, state and content actions apply to every selected cube.

Publish cube takes the cube itself out of draft state. It does not publish draft block edits. Publish draft blocks publishes every unpublished or edited block in the selected cubes without changing whether those cubes are drafts. A cube must be published and its blocks must be published before those blocks can appear to shoppers.

The Content column

Flags anything about a cube that needs attention, so you can spot problems across your whole Space without opening each one.

Badge	Meaning
Draft cube	The cube itself is a draft — it is off the storefront until you uncheck Draft cube in Settings, or until a scheduled Publish at time
Scheduled	The cube has a Publish at or Unpublish at time set in Settings
Drafts	The cube has block edits that have not been published
Unpublished view	A version exists whose blocks are not published — shoppers see older published content, or the default-language version if they open that cube
Empty order	A version with nothing on it — opening that cube shows the default-language version
Excluded	The cube is kept out of the Feed
—	Nothing pending

Unpublished view is the one to act on. It is the case where a cube looks correctly set up but is not actually showing what you think.

Score

Each row carries a star rating from one to five, which you can set directly in the list. It tells the feed ranking that a cube matters more than its neighbours. Clicking the same star again clears it, and home cubes cannot be rated. See What decides the order.

Creating a cube

Cubes are Product, Home or General. Product cubes come from importing; you create General and Home cubes with New Cube, and the type cannot be changed later. See Create a cube.

The cube screen

Opening a cube gives you a set of tabs:

Tab	Covered in
Blocks	Blocks tab
Versions	Versions tab
Analytics, Merchandising, Links, Settings, Preview, Danger Zone	Other cube tabs
