We strognly advise using a child theme. That will save any changes you made on the files.

# Automatic Update

You can use our Theme Options to install updates automatically. To use auto update ;

- Go to "Appearance > Theme Options"

  - If you do not have an API Key follow the steps in the Theme Options
- Click "Check Updates" button
- If there is a new version, "Update Theme" button will be visible. Click on it.

Info : If you are using child theme, activate the main theme for theme update. After the theme update, activate the child theme again. If you don't activate main theme, automatic update will not find new versions.

# Manual Update

When there is a new version, you will need to download the new version from "Themeforest". To do this login to your Themeforest account and go to "Downloads" tab. Then click on "Download" button. Then click on the "All files & Documentation".

After you download this package, unzip the package. You will see a directory named "azoomtheme" click in it. Now you should be seeing all of the files of the Azoom theme. We will upload all of these files "1".

Connect to your FTP and go to "wp-content/themes/azoomtheme/". You should see almost the same file list here. Now upload all of the files at "1". It will ask you if you want to override, say yes.

When you finish the uploading you will have the latest version of the Azoom Wordpress Theme. But there is one more step. Go to "Appearance > Theme Options". At the top of Theme Options you will see a button "Import New Options". Click on it. And it will activate the new options.

!Attention : Import New Option button will only load new options if there are new options. If not it will not load any new option. If new options released but you can't see it, make a hard refresh on your page and click on "Import New Options" button again.
