This article explains what the **Deployed** status means in Search Atlas and why your SEO changes may not yet be visible inside Shopify.

## **🔍 What "Deployed" Actually Means**

In Search Atlas, **Deployed** means the changes have been approved and sent from Search Atlas to Shopify — but it does not automatically guarantee they are visible in your Shopify admin or live storefront. The change must also be accepted and rendered by Shopify, which depends on a successful connection between the two platforms.

## **🛠️ What to Do If Your Changes Are Not Appearing**

1. **Verify your Shopify integration is active.** Confirm that your Shopify store is connected to Search Atlas. If the integration is disconnected, Search Atlas cannot write changes to Shopify even when the status shows Deployed.
2. **Re-authenticate if needed.** If the connection appears broken or was set up a long time ago, disconnect and reconnect your Shopify store, then re-deploy the changes.
3. **Check the specific resource in Shopify.** Log in to your Shopify admin and navigate directly to the page, product, or collection that was changed. Review the SEO fields to see whether the new values are present.
4. **Re-deploy if values are still missing.** If Shopify still shows the old values, return to Search Atlas, find the affected item, and trigger a new deployment. Monitor the status after saving to confirm it progresses to Deployed again.
5. **Wait for propagation if the values are present.** If the values are already updated in Shopify but are not yet showing in search results or on the live storefront, allow time for Shopify's theme to re-render and for search engines to re-crawl the page.
