# Enable the app embed

Turn on the AWE app embed in your theme so swatches can show.

Swatches only show on your store once the **AWE Combined Listings Swatch** app embed is on in your theme. It's a one-time step right after installing.

## 🛠️ Steps

### Open the setup guide

In the app, go to **Home**. In the **Setup guide**, open **Enable app embed** and click **Activate app**.

→ *You can also click **Activate** on the "AWE Combined Listings Swatch app is not activated yet." banner.*

→ *If the Setup guide already shows **3 / 3 completed**, the app embed is already enabled for the published theme and you can skip to* [*Set up your first swatches*](/awe-color-swatches/getting-started/set-up-your-first-swatches.md)*.*
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Switch the app on

Your theme editor opens on **App embeds**. Turn on **AWE Combined Listings Swatch**.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Come back to the app

Return to the app tab — the step is ticked by itself. If the banner is still there, click **I have done it**.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
The app checks your **published** theme. Turning the embed on in a draft theme doesn't count — turn it on again after you publish a new theme.
{% endhint %}
