    Hi Gary,

    Thanks for writing in! Basically you will need a child theme setup, if you’re planning to change templates and to add your own customizations. So that those changes will remain in the child theme, when you’re updating the original X theme.

    If you just want to use Customizer’s Custom CSS or JavaScript, you can ignore child theme setup.

    Hope that’s clear.

    Hey There,

    Thanks for writing back!

    Yes, you will not need a Child Theme setup to play around with the Cornerstone. If you want to make more customizations with your theme and its functionality, it’s better to setup a Child theme so that you can add more customizations easily.

    Hope this helps!
