What carries over
- Theme settings: colours and colour schemes, fonts, layout, cards, buttons, social links, and every other choice under Theme settings.
- Every page you arranged: the home page, product and collection templates, extra page templates, with their sections, blocks, images, text and links.
- Header and footer: menus, logo, announcement and everything in those groups.
- Words you changed under Edit default theme content, in every language.
- Files you added to the theme's assets.
What does not
Changes made to the theme's code, its Liquid, CSS or JavaScript files. The page compares each file with the original free release and lists any you changed, so you know exactly what to redo. Premium's newer code replaces them, which is also how you receive its fixes.
Premium sections are yours to add
Your pages come across exactly as they were, so the premium sections are not placed for you. Open the theme editor, choose Add section, and they are there with the rest.
