# Update theme

We regularly release updates to improve performance, fix bugs, and introduce new features. Keeping your theme up to date ensures the best compatibility with Ghost and access to the latest enhancements.

You can check for new versions in the [Changelog](https://docs.ektothemes.com/guides/haas/changelog), where all updates are listed in detail.

### How to update the theme

#### Step-by-step:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Download the latest ZIP file from your Gumroad receipt or [Gumroad Library](https://gumroad.com/library).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
In Ghost Admin, go to **"Theme"** and download your active theme as a backup (optional).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **"Change theme"**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **"Upload theme"** and select the new ZIP file.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
After the upload finishes, click **"Overwrite"**.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Notes

* Your content and settings (navigation, logo, publication icon, publication cover, color scheme, fonts, etc.) are preserved during the update.
* If you’ve modified theme files manually, keep a backup and merge your changes into the new version before activating it.
* Advanced users can use a Git-based workflow to track edits and apply updates selectively.
* Although you’re free to customize the code however you want, this theme is designed to be flexible out of the box.

{% hint style="warning" %}
For most users, structural modifications are not recommended, as they can complicate future updates.
