Avada v4 Migration

IMPORTANT NOTE: The new Avada Theme Options is only available on Avada version 4.0+, this help file is applicable to anyone updating from a very old version of Avada (pre Avada 4.0).The new Theme Options panel that』s included with Avada version 4.0 is a truly extensible and powerful options framework for Avada. Because we』re using an entirely new Theme Options panel, it is necessary for your previous Avada installations to be migrated.
When updating from an older version of Avada to version 4.0, your current theme option values will be copied and stored in your database for safe keeping. In doing this, no data is lost during migration. The extra copy of theme options is then migrated over so that you can utilize the new options panel. Always make sure you backup your current theme folder before you upgrade. Updating Avada from previous versions to version 4.0 is a simple process and will be automatically run the first time you visit your dashboard after updating the theme files.
