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.Set aside dedicated time for store customization
- 2.Focus on one area or page at a time
- 3.Complete a section before moving to the next
- 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.Start simple: Make basic changes first
- 2.Review: Check the result before continuing
- 3.Refine: Make adjustments as needed
- 4.Repeat: Build up to your final design
Example iterative workflow:
- 1."Add an announcement bar"
- 2."Change the announcement bar background to navy"
- 3."Make the announcement bar text white"
- 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
Choosing the right AI model saves time and credits:
| Use Basic For | Use Advanced For |
|---|---|
| Quick color changes | Creating new sections |
| Font adjustments | Complex layouts |
| Simple spacing | Vague or creative requests |
| Show/hide elements | Multi-step modifications |
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.Homepage customizations
- 2.Product page optimizations
- 3.Collection page improvements
- 4.Cart and checkout tweaks
- 5.Header/footer refinements
By Priority
- 1.Critical fixes: Broken elements
- 2.High-impact changes: Above the fold
- 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.
