With the launch of TURBO, our latest version aimed at enhancing app performance, we've introduced a feature that allows smooth transitions for merchants from older versions. This upgrade feature is designed to let users easily experience the advanced capabilities of TURBO, with the flexibility to revert to previous versions if needed, ensuring merchants can choose the version that best suits their needs.
How to use

From the app admin, go to Account Settings >> App preferences.
Inside the App preferences menu, look for the App version section.
Here, you can find the sentence You are using [version name] that tells you which version you're using.
If you are using the Former version (V1, V2, or V3), you can select Boost TURBO (Latest version) to upgrade.
If you are using the TURBO version, you can select the Former version to revert from TURBO.

💪 What happens when you upgrade to Boost Turbo?
When you upgrade to Turbo, Boost simplifies the transition by automatically handling key setup tasks for you:
Auto-creates a new Boost Turbo template tailored for optimal performance.
Automatically selects a matching template and migrates your Visual Editor settings for a seamless look and feel.
Clones your existing settings to the new template, ensuring consistency without extra work.
This streamlined process helps you upgrade faster and start benefiting from Turbo’s advanced features right away! Still, you can change them to your liking later anytime by following the instructions below.
How to revert from TURBO to former versions
In Boost App admin, go to Account Settings >> App Preferences menu
Click the Switch version button. A confirmation popup will appear prompting you to confirm.
Click on Switch back on the popup to proceed.
💡Note💡
Every time you switch from the TURBO version back to a previous version, a confirmation popup appears. You can select Don't show this again to bypass this notification in the future.
Once the switch is completed, your app admin will revert to the selected former version and a success message will confirm the change.
How to set up TURBO on Themes with Former Versions Installed
After you upgrade to the TURBO version, to set up the widgets on your theme, go to Integration >> Shopify integration from the App admin.
Select your desired theme from the Select the theme you want to manage section.
2.1 If you select a Live theme
If setting up TURBO for an active theme, it's recommended that you use a duplicated version to test and adjust before applying changes to the live theme.
From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes.
For the theme that you want to duplicate, click the ... button to open the actions menu, and then click Duplicate.
2.2. If you select an unpublished theme with the former version installed.
Since each theme should use only one version at a time if you select an unpublished theme with the former version installed, an error message will be displayed.
If you want to continue using this theme, you will need to remove the former version and install TURBO on this theme.
Alternatively, you can select a different theme to proceed.
Follow the steps below to remove the former version:
Click the Remove former version button. A confirmation popup will appear, prompting you to confirm.
Click the Remove button on the popup to proceed.
You can select a different theme to proceed.
⚠️ Please note that this action cannot be undone ⚠️
Once the former version is removed, click Next to proceed with setting up TURBO on your selected theme.
⚠️ If you are using a former version and want to run theme setup for a theme installed with the TURBO version, an error message will be displayed. Theme management for the TURBO version-installed theme is only possible when you are using the TURBO version. Please change the app version to TURBO in the App preferences.
