☝️ Good to know
If your store is already open to the public, and you'd like to put it back in Construction, you can do so autonomously via the Appearances > Website under construction section, without losing any of the work already done on your store.
However, it's important to note that it's essential to maintain the availability of a site published and indexed by Google at all times. Taking the store offline, even for a short time, can have a significant impact on SEO: Temporarily deactivate my store.
