We’re working on updating our theme to a horizon based one and have added custom code. Updates for Horizon are frequent, and there doesn’t appear to be an easy way to apply these updates with our custom code flowing through.

Could you advise on the recommended workflow to safely update Horizon while preserving customisations?
