Widget status controls **whether the widget appears on your store**.

* **Active** → Widget can show on your storefront
* **Draft** → Widget is hidden and will not show

#### 🛠️ Set a widget to Active

1. Go to the app > click **Widgets**
2. Tick on the checkbox of the widget you want to publish
3. Click **Active** (top-right).
