# Shopify CLI: Preview your theme changes using any theme

When developing a theme using Shopify CLI, you can now preview your local changes using any theme in a store. To specify a theme, run the Shopify CLI [`theme serve`](https://shopify.dev/themes/tools/cli/theme-commands#serve) command with the new `-t` or `--theme` flag:

```bash
shopify theme serve -t my-unpublished-theme
```

Previously, developers could only preview changes using [development themes](https://shopify.dev/themes/tools/cli#development-themes).

**Caution:** Before running `shopify theme serve`, pull your remote theme to ensure that any recent changes don't get overwritten by your local development files.
