Flatsome parent update or not?

@Salvo2k

I have been told not to keep the parent one active because with the updated I will lose all my settings.
Is that true?

yes true.

@Salvo2k

Should I switch to the child theme and then get the update?

yes it is better to active child theme and do all customization work in child theme. So that when you will do update the theme (parent theme) your customization will not loss.

Thanks
