If you have purchased a Thrive Theme Builder theme, but you do not own Thrive Architect, you might have noticed that the Thrive Theme Builder theme came with a light version of this product.

This is because, when you are customizing a template of a theme with Thrive Theme Builder, you are actually customizing the design of the theme. Should you want to make any modifications to the actual content of a template, you will have to switch to Thrive Architect.

The light version, Thrive Architect Light, was created because we wanted this issue to be covered, and everyone to be able to edit the content when creating a theme using Thrive Theme Builder.

However, there are some differences between the two versions, and you can find them in this article.

When using Thrive Architect Light, you will not get access to the wide range of professionally designed Landing Pages that the regular version offers.
