# Updating a theme

Theme updates guarantee compatibility with the latest Ghost version, enhance performance, and address minor bugs. Therefore, it is crucial to use the most recent version of the theme.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Keep in mind that updating your theme with the latest versions may override any custom code you have implemented.

<mark style="background-color:green;">**If you haven't customized the theme code specifically, there's no issue.**</mark>&#x20;
{% endhint %}

### Updating a theme

1. Download the recent version of the theme, and then extract the archive locally.
2. To install the theme, click on the ⚙️ **Settings icon** in the Ghost admin panel. Then, go to the **"Design & Branding"** tab on the opened page. Afterward, click on the **"Change Theme"** option in the bottom right corner of the window.
3. Next, click on the **"Upload theme"** button in the top right corner. Drag and drop your **elrond-v2.0.0.zip** theme into this area or manually select the **elrond-v2.0.0.zip** file from among the **theme files.**
4. After the theme is uploaded, click on the **"Activate"** button. That's it! 🎉
