# How to download latest version

Important message:

{% hint style="info" %}
When you download the latest version of Pipeline, the new theme will be added to the **drafts** section of your store and is completely separate from your live theme that's running your store.&#x20;

Your current live theme is not affected by downloading the latest version of Pipeline.&#x20;

The new theme is in draft mode which allows you to setup and configure, while your store continues to operate with the current theme.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

## Steps for updating your theme

* [ ] Create a backup of your existing theme. This will be used to copy settings and to keep the live theme running without interruption.
* [ ] Visit the Shopify Theme Store and log in. For paid themes, it is important to **log in to the account that you used to buy the theme**. This will prevent you from being asked to buy the theme again. Direct link for the Theme Store for Story:

If you see "Try theme" and "Buy theme" options, logout and log-in again with the account that purchased the theme. Be sure the main button has "Add latest theme version".
