Optimizing your workflow

Work smarter with Clyro by following these workflow optimization tips from power users.

Plan Before You Edit

The most efficient Clyro users plan their changes before diving in:

  • Make a list: Write down all the changes you want to make
  • Group related edits: Color changes together, layout changes together
  • Prioritize: Start with the most impactful changes first
  • Set goals: Define what "done" looks like before you start

Work in Sessions

Focused editing sessions are more efficient than scattered changes:

  1. 1.Set aside dedicated time for store customization
  2. 2.Focus on one area or page at a time
  3. 3.Complete a section before moving to the next
  4. 4.Take breaks between major changes to review with fresh eyes

Use the Preview Wisely

Previewing is free, so use it to your advantage:

  • Preview multiple variations before applying
  • Check different page types (home, product, collection)
  • Test on mobile, tablet, and desktop views
  • Look for unintended side effects
  • Only apply when you're satisfied with the preview

Pro tip: Preview costs nothing. Apply costs credits. Preview often, apply decisively.

Build Iteratively

Small, incremental changes lead to better outcomes:

  1. 1.Start simple: Make basic changes first
  2. 2.Review: Check the result before continuing
  3. 3.Refine: Make adjustments as needed
  4. 4.Repeat: Build up to your final design

Example iterative workflow:

  1. 1."Add an announcement bar"
  2. 2."Change the announcement bar background to navy"
  3. 3."Make the announcement bar text white"
  4. 4."Add a close button to the announcement bar"

Create Checkpoints Strategically

Use checkpoints to protect your work:

  • Create a checkpoint after completing a major section
  • Checkpoint before experimenting with risky changes
  • Name checkpoints descriptively (e.g., "Header redesign complete")
  • Don't create too many, reserve them for important milestones

Master the Model Selection

Learn From History

Your edit history is a learning resource:

  • Review prompts that worked well
  • Identify patterns in successful edits
  • Avoid repeating prompts that didn't work
  • Reuse effective phrasing in future prompts

Organize Your Workflow

Structure your work for maximum efficiency:

By Page Type

  1. 1.Homepage customizations
  2. 2.Product page optimizations
  3. 3.Collection page improvements
  4. 4.Cart and checkout tweaks
  5. 5.Header/footer refinements

By Priority

  1. 1.Critical fixes: Broken elements
  2. 2.High-impact changes: Above the fold
  3. 3.Nice-to-haves: Polish and details

Batch Similar Tasks

Group related changes together:

  • Do all button styling at once
  • Update all typography together
  • Adjust spacing across the site in one session
  • Handle all mobile-specific tweaks together

Test Thoroughly

Before calling your edits complete:

  • View on multiple devices (phone, tablet, desktop)
  • Check different browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox)
  • Test all page types
  • Click through the checkout flow
  • Ask someone else to review

Remember: A polished store with fewer changes beats a busy store with too many changes. Focus on quality over quantity.
