Test a Shopify Flow workflow without changing live store data

How do I test a Shopify Flow workflow without changing live store data?

This applies when:: You are preparing to activate or change a valid Shopify Flow workflow and need to prove its trigger data, branches, variables, and operators without applying modifying actions.
Nothing to do right now:: You need proof that a modifying action or an external service completed after a live run; use the last system's own test or result record for that job.
What to do:: Open Apps > Flow > Workflows, select the workflow, choose Edit, select its trigger, and confirm that Test your workflow opens.

How do I connect an AI assistant to Shopify without giving it too much access?

This applies when:: You have one bounded store task that Sidekick cannot or should not perform, and you are ready to choose an official ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity Shopify app.
Nothing to do right now:: Sidekick can complete the task, you need only general advice, you cannot name the required store data and writes, or the provider's data terms are unacceptable.
What to do:: Choose ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity for one named job, and take no action when Sidekick already covers that job.
