# Update Theme

When our item has a new version, you will receive an updated email from Envato and visit [https://themeforest.net/downloads](https://themeforest.net/downloads)

You can download our theme again and extract it to see the theme upload package (like when you used the previous version). Please follow the 2 ways below to understand how to update our items from the old version to the new version. it takes only 1 minute to update.

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 hand.
