Thanks")* Hello, I'm not sure to understand fully your question. Regarding the update and the settings ; please read the third point of our FAQ : [ www.hikashop.com/support/faq.html](https://www.hikashop.com/support/faq.html) About the layouts ; if you're using view overrides (and language override, css overrides) and not modifying core files ; there is no chance that you will loose your modifications. A minor update is going smoothly since it is a minor update and do not change the lot of things in HikaShop and its behavior. But, if you performed a major updates ; like HikaShop 2.x > 3.X ; it would be sure that a lot of things would change since it has been a major release with a lot of modifications. And in any case ; when you want to perform an update. You should always perform a backup and it's best to do a test update in a pre-production website first. Thanks to that, you got a good environnement, have time to perform tests and be able to do the update on the production website afterwards.
