# Update the theme

> Move to a new version without losing your customizations.

When a new version of Gloaming is released, you can update without losing your work.

**1. Duplicate your live theme**

In **Online Store → Themes**, click **⋯ → Duplicate** on your current theme. This copy is your safe fallback.

![The Themes page in the Shopify admin](https://mintcdn.com/kwebby/ipMVAv6ECVUC3DoM/images/vesper/admin-themes.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=ipMVAv6ECVUC3DoM\&q=85\&s=77dcec9906f042efeddc6586640835e8)

1 Import, to upload a new version · 2 your current theme, with ⋯ for Duplicate

**2. Add the new version**

Upload the new ZIP, or use **Update** if Shopify offers it in your theme library.

**3. Copy your settings**

Shopify carries settings across when it updates a theme for you. If you uploaded the ZIP yourself, set up the sections and theme settings again in the theme editor, using your duplicate as the reference.

**4. Preview, then publish**

Check the home page, a product with metal and size options, a collection with filters, the bag and any promotions you run on desktop and on a phone, then publish.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Code changes you or a developer made to theme files are not carried over by an update. Keep a note of them so they can be reapplied.
