Nothing is broken and nothing is lost. Widget blocks and the core script live inside a theme's own settings, so publishing a new theme starts you with a blank widget slate while every review, setting, and email keeps running untouched. Re-placing is fast, and the smartest version happens before the switch.
The fix, in order
Open your theme editor on the new theme, open the App embeds panel, and toggle the Quoli core script on.
Go to Settings, then Widgets. Every card now reads its true status on the new theme, mostly Inactive.
Work down your usual lineup with Open in theme editor: star ratings, the reviews widget, your carousel, badges, and the floating embeds.
Save, and confirm the cards flip to Active.

Block settings like colors and copy are per placement, so check anything you had customized away from your brand defaults. Your brand settings carry over automatically, which is exactly why the heavy styling belongs there.
Next time, do it on the draft
Quoli reads and deep-links unpublished and development themes too. So the relaxed redesign flow is: pick the draft theme, place every widget on it while it is unpublished, preview until happy, then publish. The widgets go live with the theme, and this article goes unread.
Collection page stars too
If your old theme showed product-card ratings, remember the new theme has its own Show product rating toggle, and re-run Sync ratings if anything looks stale. The collection ratings checklist covers it.
š” Tip: Before publishing any new theme, screenshot your current widget lineup in Settings, then Widgets. Re-placing from a checklist takes ten minutes, re-placing from memory takes a support ticket.
