Does the whole store go offline during Test Mode?

Hi everyone,

Quick question — whenever I add a new product, I want to make sure it plays nicely with my CRM and Community integrations before going live with it.

But from what I can tell, flipping on Test Mode seems to affect the entire store… meaning customers can't actually buy anything while I'm testing?

So every time I tweak something (like adding a product) and want to test it, does my store basically have to "pause" for everyone?

Curious how you all deal with this — is there a smarter way?

Thanks!
