Once you have downloaded the zip from the link above, you can continue.
- First of all we recommend making a backup of your files and database when updating the theme, just in case even though it should go over smoothly.
- If you have made any modifications to the core theme files then you’ll need to make note of the changes, and in that case we would definitely recommend making a backup. A program like WinMerge (Windows) or DiffMerge (Cross platform) can also be very helpful in that situation. For theme file changes, we always recommend using a child theme instead of editing the theme itself.
- If you haven’t made any core theme file changes, the best way to update the theme would be to extract the download package and overwrite the theme folder over FTP.
- If you’re not familiar with FTP, then you can just go into the WP dashboard and delete the theme, then install the newly downloaded version of the theme as you normally would (note that you’ll have to switch the theme before deleting it, since WP doesn’t allow you to delete the active theme.) Since your content and settings are stored in the database, you won’t be deleting that content.
- If you have any questions, feel free to open a support ticket.

I hope this helps.
In November 2017 we launched the largest update ever for our Stratus theme that includes a long list of new features and improvements, the most important one being a brand new visual drag and drop builder.
Our original meta box page builder system worked very well, but now that Stratus had been available for 2 years a lot changed and the new system is a great improvement.
We wanted to deliver the best possible experience and didn't want to compromise on the features of the new version so it is a full rebuild, and as such there isn't a simple upgrade option from v2 to v3. It's essentially a new theme. So for all existing customers, you have the option to continue to use v2, or included for free - you can install v3 as a new theme and recreate your content in the new system.
If you choose to upgrade to v3, we recommend starting with a clean install on a new site.
There is separate documentation for the new version which is available here: http://themovation.helpscoutdocs.com
