How does Manage Theme work?
1. Create Child Theme quickly without no coding
Child Theme is created and inherited characteristics and functions of the parent theme.
The use of Child Theme when customizing themes on Magento is essential. In the process of using the Magento theme, you will need to customize the functions to suit your work needs. However, if you edit directly on the parent theme then when upgrading Magento version, these edits will be lost. Repair and maintenance are quite difficult. The purpose when using Child Theme is to help you edit the theme as you like without losing any changes when the theme is updated.
With Magento 2 Manage Theme, you can create a child theme for any theme easily. This extension makes the process faster with a few customizable steps in the admin panel.

2. Manage child theme properties
After clicking 'Manage Theme', select 'Add new theme' to create a child theme for any original theme, you can customize the properties of the child theme as follows:
Parent theme: Choose any parent theme for which you need to make changes.
Theme title: Set any title for the child theme. You should use titles that follow the parent theme's name to make it easy to remember and distinguish from store themes.
Theme Path: example: “Parent theme name_child”
