Backing Up Themes Before Updates
If your current theme version is out of date and you want to update the theme to the latest version, the Envato Market wordpress Plugin will help you with that process as well. But remember: It will replace all your current theme files with the ones from the new version; so if you’ve made changes to a theme file (instead of creating a child theme), you might want to back up your current theme files beforehand. Or you could just let the Envato market wordpress Plugin do it for you automatically.

The Settings Page:

Theme Updates:
Once the Envato API connection is made from the Settings page, a list of available Themes will be shown. This will list all WordPress Themes that have been purchased through the Envato Market / ThemeForest. Any available theme updates can be applied here (or from the standard WordPress update page or WP-CLI).
Plugin Updates:
Once the Envato API connection is made from the Settings page, a list of all purchased WordPress plugins will be made available. Now any purchased plugins can be installed or updated directly within WordPress.
