Do I need to enable the Extended Editor to copy pages between Squarespace versions?
The Squarewebsites Chrome extension does not require admin access to copy pages — you need at least contributor access or access to the editing side on both sites. The product page does not mention an Extended Editor as a prerequisite for copying pages between Squarespace versions, so no special editor mode is documented as required.
The documented access requirement
To copy pages between Squarespace sites, the Chrome extension needs editing access on both the source and destination. You do not necessarily need admin access, but you do need at least contributor access or access to the editing side on each site (Squarewebsites). The extension installs into your Chrome browser and logs in with your purchase email — no code pasting is involved (Squarewebsites).
No documented Extended Editor prerequisite
The product and FAQ pages do not reference an Extended Editor as a requirement for copying pages between versions. The extension works across all templates on 7.0 and 7.1, with some features being template-dependent, and there is no stated need to toggle a separate editor mode before copying (Squarewebsites).
If your Squarespace plan or site shows an editor option labeled differently, treat contributor editing access as the working requirement and confirm any platform-specific toggles against your current Squarespace version. whether a specific Squarespace editor setting affects extension behavior on 7.1.
