# Access theme files with the Theme Kit Access app

The new Theme Kit Access app makes it easier for merchants to grant access to their theme. Instead of relying on a private app API password to authenticate, merchants can now leverage the Theme Kit Access app to create, share, and manage Theme Kit access with their partners.
