Installing the latest version of your Debutify theme ensures that your store runs smoothly with access to the newest features, performance improvements, and bug fixes. Before updating, it’s important to download a backup of your current theme from Shopify so you don’t lose any customizations.
This guide will walk you through backing up your theme, downloading the update from Debutify, and uploading the new version to your Shopify store.
Note: Not all theme versions are compatible, and some settings may not transfer during the update. In addition, third-party apps and custom CSS will not be carried over and may need to be re-applied manually.
