How to update Slate to the latest version
Slate is currently in beta and is undergoing heavy development, which makes the release cycle much more frequent. You will want to ensure you are running the latest version of Slate in your Shopify theme by updating the @shopify/slate-tools dependency over time.
Updating Slate version
To update @shopify/slate-tools, we recommend using either yarn upgrade or npm install:
yarn upgrade --latest @shopify/slate-tools
