1. Update from Kalles 1.x.x or 2.x.x to Kalles 3.x.x
You can not update from Kalles 1.x.x or 2.x.x to Kalles 3.x.x because the theme structure has changed completely. Kalles version 3 is the theme for Shopify 2.0, but Kalles version 1 or Kalles version 2 are not. That means you have to rebuild your store if using Kalles 3.x.x.
- We recommend keeping the old version if it is stable and configuring Kalles 3.x.x in preview mode. Once everything in Kalles 3.x.x is up and running, you can publish it to replace the old version. When our item has a new version, you will receive an updated email from Envato and visit https://themeforest.net/download
- You can download our theme again and extract it to see the theme upload package (like when you used the previous version). To update the theme between versions 3.x.x, you can check this guide

2.3. Some note after uploading theme
- Please note that update can not bring all advance customize work which you did by modified our theme files or app integration. If you have customized the old version (such as hiring a developer to write new features or customizing our theme) so that the updated version cannot carry these codes, you will need to migrate all the custom code by manually.
- Update custom variant color
After you upload the theme, you must press the button “Update on online store” to update the variant color. If you do not press the update button, the variant colors won’t show up like the color that you created earlier.
