Will my custom CSS transfer when I move from 7.0 to 7.1?
The Squarewebsites Chrome extension imports and exports content and page styling between Squarespace websites, which helps carry design across a 7.0 to 7.1 move. However, the product page does not explicitly state that raw custom CSS is copied, so plan to review and re-apply any Custom CSS you added separately.
What the extension transfers for design
The Chrome extension lets you import and export content and page styling between Squarespace websites, and it also offers Tweaks Presets import/export so you can save and move site-style tweaks (Squarewebsites). Together these features help reproduce the look of a 7.0 page on a 7.1 site during a migration.
What is not explicitly covered
The product page mentions page styling and style tweaks but does not explicitly mention raw custom CSS (Squarewebsites). Because 7.0 and 7.1 use different underlying structures, class names and selectors that worked on a 7.0 template may not match the 7.1 markup anyway.
Recommended workflow
- Use the extension to copy pages, content, and page styling to the new 7.1 site.
- Export your Custom CSS from the 7.0 site’s Code Injection or Custom CSS panel and keep a backup.
- Re-apply the CSS on 7.1, then test each selector against the 7.1 markup and adjust where the structure has changed (Squarespace platform facts).
Treat custom CSS as a manual review step rather than something the migration handles automatically. whether the extension captures any site-wide Custom CSS box contents.
