Update theme

Usually, the theme files are edited by webmasters or apps. Major theme updates
include a lot of changes. That is why it is not easy task to update the theme.
All the theme versions are tested before release. Update to the latest version is
not obligatory. You may stay with your current version.
You can review change log at Themeforest description page.
If you have a highly customized store or want to install a major theme update, I
recommend starting from scratch. Please note, a major update is from version 1 to
version 3, or from version 2 to version 3. A minor update is from version 3.1.x to
3.3.x. A bugfix update is from 3.3.1 to 3.3.4.
The following update process is good for minor and bug fix updates.
The update process is similar to the installation process with additional steps -
export/import theme settings.
Duplicate your current theme Online store -> Themes -> Actions -> Duplicate.
This is a backup copy in case something went wrong.
Upload the latest theme version to your store. Check Install theme for more
details.
Navigate to Shopify admin -> Apps -> ExIm app -> Theme settings. In the section
"Export", select the theme to export theme settings:
