# Update Theme

Please follow the instructions below if you are using theme version 5.0 and above.

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:red;">**Important Note**</mark>

Our beloved customer <mark style="color:red;">**If you want to use Belle version 5.0 and above version, you need to start from scratch like fresh theme.**</mark>&#x20;

We have introduced block-based product pages and also Shopify recently made changes to allow sections to add on login and registration pages too, and we have now redesigned them and rebuild theme with new code which is not possible to update with old version. Sometimes we need to make major updates to the theme to make it compatible with the latest Shopify standard and theme updates are not possible in some cases We hope you understand it.

Still no worries, as you already have the store setup with the old version, it would not take much of your time to set up the store with the new version. You already have all the sections in mind that you have added, as well as the design style and images, so you can easily set up your store with the new version.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
&#x20;If you have installed any app that required changes to the code in theme files or If there are any customization work, you will need to do it again to the new theme version. Theme upgrade will not migrate custom code from old version to new version itself.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please take theme backup of your current theme also in case you need it in future.
