The app will install the latest theme as an unpublished (Draft) theme on the Themes page of your dashboard, carrying over as much content as possible from the previous theme. This is only possible for certain versions, however.
Check compatible versions, then compare your current version to determine if the Theme Updater App can ease the update process.

When updating to an Online Store 2.0-compatible version, the Theme Updater App is only able to preserve global theme settings (e.g. Colors, Typography). Content such as homepage sections will need to be rebuilt. This is a one-time process that is required to align with new templating standards and maintain theme performance.
Compare your version number
To find the version number for the theme, access the theme editor (Customize), then open the more menu [···]. The version number is displayed here with two decimal points (e.g. Startup 10.0.0).
