You can update your theme by downloading a fresh copy from ThemeForest, deleting the current version you have on your server and uploading the new.
It's recommended that you use FTP, but this also can be done with the WP dashboard if you prefer. The reason FTP is superior for this is because the theme won't have to be deactivated during the process so you won't have to reassign your widgets. If you're
interested in keeping up to date with the latest changes and fixes, please refer to the changelog: http://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html
Also, remember to clear your browser cache after each update if you notice anything off. Old theme files can persist in your local cache and make you think something's wrong.
Also please see this FAQ: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/faq/2252 .
After I deactivate and remove my theme, I simply upload the newer version and activate it. Would removing my theme remove all the pages I created and remove all the images? I like to use the WP dashboard for updating.
Your pages and image etc will remain. However if you have made any changes to the core theme files those will be lost. So do take a backup just incase .
I'm worried If I upload the new update to Salient it will overwrite all my images and pages. What is the best way to update?

Also will this theme install a fresh index file?
