Description
The user in 4108233-zd-woothemes suggested showing a warning in the app before the user activates another theme. On WordPress.com, when activating a block-based theme, there is a prompt letting the user select if they want to keep their existing content on the homepage or to replace it with the theme demo content.

It would be great to have this implemented in the app as well.

Done means showing a warning before activation that lets users keep existing homepage content or replace it with theme demo content.
