By using a child theme you will ensure that your modifications are preserved. And you will be able to learn about the theme style. ![[Image: Tp9im80.png]](https://i.imgur.com/Tp9im80.png)

The decision to use a parent or child depends on the nature of the style change. ![[Image: tERaCLa.png]](https://i.imgur.com/tERaCLa.png)
