As soon as the theme has been installed with the required plugins, the Dashboard gets Theme Settings and Woodmart tabs. The Theme Settings Tab provides all the options to configure the site as per the business needs.

WoodMart tab contains:

Base Import - opportunity to upload the full demo as it is;

Additional pages - opportunity to upload certain pages design from demos;

Header builder - special building tool allowing to create and configure the Header with various set of elements;

Theme license - the tab for license activation;

CSS generator - CSS optimization tool;

In order to upload the full demo, navigate to Base Import and upload Basic or full import. This is a compulsory step for demo uploading. You will find the right block with “Activate Base Version” Pressing the button will upload Base version which is provided here:  

After installation of the Base Version, the left block with Demo versions drop-down becomes available. Choose the Demo from the drop-down and press button “Set up version”

The theme can be activated twice with one and the same license key in order to ensure the possibility to develop a site on a staging platform and then transfer for the final domain. However it the theme is supposed to be used on different domains, it is necessary to acquire licenses for each domain separately.
