# Introduction and Quick Start Guide

Thank you for purchasing **Tymic – WordPress Appointment Booking Theme**. We appreciate your trust and support!

## 📦 First Steps

Your download package includes:

- **Documentation** – A complete guide (you're reading it now!)
- **License** – Details about theme licensing
- **Sample Data** – Importable data to replicate the demo site
- **Theme Files** – Includes Parent and Child theme for installation

## 👶 Why Use a Child Theme?

Tymic includes both a **Parent** and a **Child Theme**. We recommend activating the **Child Theme** to ensure your customizations are safe during future theme updates.

### Benefits of Using a Child Theme:

- **Safe Updates:** Easily update the parent theme without losing your changes
- **Custom Flexibility:** Modify only the files and functions you need
- **Override Control:** Files in the child theme override the parent by default

### **Setup**:

Upload both the **Tymic Parent** and **Tymic Child** themes to `/wp-content/themes/`, but activate only the **Tymic Child** theme from **Appearance → Themes**.
