Chrome Extension — Copy & Clone

Can I clone an entire Squarespace site with the Chrome extension?

Direct answer

The Squarewebsites Chrome extension is not a single one-click full-site clone button, but it lets you copy pages, sections, and collections from one Squarespace site to another in a few clicks each. By copying the individual pages and collections you can effectively recreate a site, including moving it from 7.0 to 7.1.

What cloning means here

The extension is marketed as a way to copy and clone Squarespace websites and pages, and to instantly move or recreate a site from 7.0 to 7.1 (Squarewebsites). In practice, this means copying your pages, sections, and collections across to a new site rather than pushing one button that duplicates an entire site.

How to recreate a site

To rebuild a site on a new Squarespace account or version, copy each page and collection individually — the extension supports Blog, Product, Gallery, Album, Events, and Custom (Dev) collections (Squarewebsites). Page styling and Tweaks Presets can be exported and imported to keep the design consistent.

Limits to be aware of

The extension works only between Squarespace sites, so you cannot clone into WordPress or another platform (Squarewebsites). It also uses an undocumented Squarespace API, so back up your destination site before copying and treat it as use-at-your-own-risk.
