Shopify themes, liquid, logos, and UX
Hi everyone,
I’m trying to update my Dawn theme from version 12.0.0 to 15.2.0, but I keep getting this error:
"An error occurred when copying the customizations to the new updated theme. Note that any limit and constraint change to a theme’s schema, such as increasing the block limit of a section or reducing constraints on where some sections can be added, might result in an update failure."
I’m not very familiar with things like schemas or technical details. I just want to update the theme without losing the customizations I’ve made.
Any help would mean a lot!
Thank you so much!
Hello, @theek This is how a theme is updated. You can update the theme from here.
Thanks!
Hi!
The said error pops up when I update the theme from there
Hi @theek
This might be due to a large difference between the two versions, which is why it couldn't update. Try downloading the new theme

Because the version gap.
The error you're encountering typically happens when the customizations you've made to your theme conflict with changes in the theme's schema during the update. The schema controls how sections, blocks, and settings are structured in the theme, and updates to the theme might introduce new constraints or limits that aren't compatible with your customizations.
Here are a few steps you can follow to update your theme without losing your customizations:
Backup Your Current Theme:
Export Customizations:
Update the Theme on a Staging Environment:
Compare Schemas:
Manually Apply Customizations to the New Version:
Test and Debug:
