# Theme Duplicates

If you are using multiple sales channels with one theme, it makes sense to create theme duplicates for each respective sales channel. This way, you can inherit theme settings specific to each sales channel from the main theme, providing you with maximum flexibility.

### Create Theme Duplicate

To do this, go to your themes overview, select the relevant main theme, and click on **Create Duplicate**:
