A theme demo in your theme is a pre-defined combination of configuration settings in the WordPress Customise section and a static homepage. You may easily activate a demo or switch between them without importing the demo content or affecting the existing content.
It’s a very convenient feature if you have existing posts and content and don’t want to import any dummy data, but you still would like your website to replicate a demo of our theme.
To activate a demo, simply navigate to Appearance → Theme Demos hover over the desired demo and click on Import next to a demo thumbnail.
