Updating an imported child theme from the wp-admin UI

Uploading a new zip package should work the same way as updating themes or plugins.

Please not however that it will only add new files and overwrite existing ones. If you upload a new package without some files (eg. unnecessary CSS or JS), these files will remain on server. So, it is good to take a look from time to time and do some clean up if necessary.
