# Updating your theme
|
|
|
|
Once your theme is published, you will probably need to push a new update for your theme to fix a color or change something. You can do this by [selecting your theme as the starter theme](/custom-themes/create-a-theme-with-theme-builder#1-select-a-starter-theme) in the Theme Builder and making the changes. Once everything is ready, just [export the changed theme](/custom-themes/create-a-theme-with-theme-builder#5-exporting-your-theme) as usual.
|
|
|
|
> warn
|
|
>
|
|
> Don't forget to increment the version of your theme; otherwise, no one will be able to see the changes.
|
|
|
|
To publish the updated theme, you will need to submit a new pull request in the same way as you did while publishing:
|
|
|
|
1. Go to your fork on GitHub. (Mine is at [https://github.com/ammarahm-ed/notesnook-themes](https://github.com/ammarahm-ed/notesnook-themes)).
|
|
2. Click on "Sync fork" and then click the "Update branch" button.
|
|

|
|
3. Go to `themes/your-theme-id/v1` directory and open the `theme.json` file.
|
|
4. Click on the Edit button\
|
|

|
|
5. Paste your updated theme and click on "Commit changes".
|
|
6. Enter title of your commit as `update {your-theme-id} theme` and click on "Commit changes".
|
|

|
|
7. Now go to the homepage of your fork and click on "Contribute" and then click on "Open pull request" in the popup.
|
|

|
|
8. Click on "Create pull request"
|
|

|
|
9. You are all done!
