Asked in Facebook group and was referred here.

Hello, new Kadence Pro user here. I am coming from many years of building sites with Genesis Framework and so am conditioned to working in a Parent/Child theme environment. I know that this is usually not a requirement with Kadence but I’m curious about how to replicate some of the benefits of working in a child theme:

1. The theme can be branded for my client, using their name and screenshot.
2. The theme has its own external stylesheet. I find the CSS editor in the Customizer to be very hard to organize once it has more than a few styles in it.
3. Is it really, really safe to be updating the theme where all of my customizations live? (Yes, I do have backups.)

FWIW, opinions on Facebook are running in favor of child themes.
