Important Notes

Build Process: The command will build your theme and upload it to Zid, so if your internet connection is slow, the process may take some time.

Theme ID: Ensure that the theme_id corresponds to an existing theme in your Zid partner account.

Change Type: Choose the change_type carefully as it affects the version number of your theme.

Release Notes: Provide clear and concise release notes to inform merchants about what's new or changed.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during the update process:

Problem	Solution
Slow upload due to internet speed	Ensure you have a stable and fast internet connection to reduce upload time.
Incorrect theme ID	Verify that the `theme_id` matches an existing theme in your Zid partner account.
Missing release notes or invalid format	Ensure release notes are provided and enclosed in quotation marks if they contain spaces.
Authentication issues	Run the `themes-cli login` command to ensure you're authenticated.
