Installation

Update the Theme

When a new version of PLEAT is released, you install it as a new theme next to your current one. Your customizations are not transferred automatically, so follow these steps.

Before you update

  1. In Online Store → Themes, open the ⋯ menu of your live theme and choose Duplicate. This is your backup.
  2. Note any code changes you or a developer made to the theme files — they must be re-applied manually.

Installing the new version

  1. Upload the new version using the steps in Install the Theme.
  2. Open the new theme in the Theme Editor and re-create your settings. Most sections keep the same settings, so this is usually quick.
  3. Preview the new theme carefully, then Publish it.
Note

Your products, collections, pages, menus and orders are stored in Shopify, not in the theme. Updating the theme never affects them.
