You need to copy the repaired code to the updated theme file. You can check the updated content of the theme version and compare it with the content of the current version of the theme. Generally, there will not be too much change. As long as you are sure that the code you modified is still the original and has not been modified, you can directly copy the modified code.

Current version of Motion is 10.5.0 (https://help.archetypethemes.co/en/articles/2747). 

Too much has changed since 4.6.0 -- in version 8.0.0 the theme was rewritten to support Shopify 2.0 'Sections everywhere', which was a significant change, and a bunch of other changes.

 

I doubt there is a simple migration path.

If Shopify offers you "Motion 10.5.0 available" -> "Update to Motion 10.5.0" -- you may try this. It would not touch your current theme but will create a new theme and copy your settings there. Again, since the version difference is huge, it may not do anything good as settings themselves may/will be different.

 

If your theme code was modified by you/ your colleagues/ apps -- these changes would need to be transferred manually.
