What is a Blockskit Base child theme? +
A child theme is a separate WordPress theme that inherits all functionality, design, and templates from Blockskit Base (its parent). You make your customizations in the child so they survive updates to the parent theme.

Will the child theme break when Blockskit Base updates? +
That's exactly what a child theme is designed to prevent. Blockskit Base can be updated freely without losing your customizations, because they live in the child theme files.
