How do I transfer a Squarespace site template to a new site?
To transfer a Squarespace site template to a new site, use the Squarewebsites Chrome extension to copy pages, sections, and collections and to import and export content and page styling between the websites. It also offers Tweaks Presets import/export so you can save and move site-style tweaks, reproducing the template's look on the new site.
What the extension transfers
The Chrome extension copies and clones Squarespace pages, sections, and collections between sites and can move or recreate a site from 7.0 to 7.1 (and 7.1 to 7.1) (Squarewebsites). For template fidelity specifically, it imports and exports content and page styling, and it provides Tweaks Presets so you can save site-style tweaks and import them onto the new site.
How the template concept differs between versions
On 7.0, templates are distinct structures, while on 7.1 all templates share one unified core (Squarespace platform facts). This means transferring a 7.0 template to a new site is really about reproducing its pages and styling on a 7.1 base, since you cannot install a 7.0 template file onto 7.1 directly.
Steps to reproduce a template on a new site
- Create the new Squarespace site (7.1 if moving versions).
- Install the Chrome extension and log in with your purchase account.
- Copy the source site’s pages, sections, and collections onto the new site.
- Import page styling and use Tweaks Presets to carry over the style tweaks (Squarewebsites).
- Review and re-apply any custom CSS manually, since the extension’s page-styling transfer does not explicitly cover raw CSS.
- Confirm you have contributor or editing access on both the source and destination sites before copying (Squarewebsites).
whether Tweaks Presets capture every style-panel setting or only the subset documented on the product page.
