# Theme alias operations
<a name="theme-alias-operations"></a>

A *theme alias* is a reference to a version of a theme. For example, suppose that you create the theme alias `{{exampleAlias}}` for version 1 of the theme `exampleTheme`. You can use the theme alias {{`exampleAlias`}} to reference version 1 of theme exampleTheme in a `DescribeTheme` API operation, as in the following example.

**Example**  

```
aws quicksight describe-theme 
    --aws-account-id {{AWSACCOUNTID}} 
    --theme-id {{exampleThemeID}} 
    --alias-name {{exampleAlias}}
```

With theme alias operations, you can perform actions on Quick Sight theme aliases. For more information, see the following API operations.
