Booster Theme is updated regularly to fix bugs, add new features, and improve performance. This can help you improve your store's functionality, offer a better shopping experience for your customers, and make your store more stable.   Here are some tips on what to do before updating your Booster Theme. - **Make a backup of your theme.** This is important in case anything goes wrong during the update process. You can create a backup of your theme by duplicating it or exporting it from your Shopify admin. - **Test the update on a draft copy.** This is a great way to test the update before publishing it. This will allow you to see how the update affects your store. - **Check the Booster Theme changelog.** Before you update your theme, be sure to check the changelog to see what's new in the update. This will help you to understand what changes have been made.
