The theme and the Companion plugin share a version line: each new line, like 0.3, comes in both, and a fix comes in the one that needs it. The demo stores get new versions along the way.
The theme updates in Dashboard → Updates. Companion is updated from the download page until the plugin directory approves it.
Each demo store has its own versions. Appearance → LanternWP → Demos always imports the latest one. A store you imported stays as it is until you choose “Update to version N” there, which replaces the demo’s own products, pages and settings.
