Templates that need a page assigned
These do nothing until a page uses them. Create the page in Online Store → Pages, then pick the template under Theme template on the right.
Two templates you should not assign
You will see page.preview-all sitting in the template dropdown next to preview, looking like a second page you are supposed to create. Leave it alone.
page.preview-all
The preview set as a grid. An alternate view of the Preview page — no second page to create
product.preview
One item, stepped through. An alternate view of the product
Both exist as files because that is what makes the link work: Shopify resolves ?view=preview-all by looking for a template of that name, and Liquid cannot read a query parameter, so a second file is the only way to give one page two layouts.
Shopify lists every template file in that dropdown and gives a theme no way to mark one as internal, which is why they are visible at all. Assigning one to a page is harmless — you just get the same grid at a second address that nothing links to.
See Preview for how the three views fit together.
Why an unassigned template previews the wrong content
Open one in the theme editor before a page uses it and you'll see the panel say "Assigned to 0 pages" with some unrelated page underneath — often an auto-generated one like "Your Privacy Choices".
That's Shopify. With no real page to preview the template against, it falls back to whatever page it can find. Assign a page and the preview corrects itself. Customers never see it — an unassigned template isn't reachable on your storefront.
Customer account templates
Login, register, account, addresses, order and password reset are all included and styled. See Customer Accounts.
