Site versions in Squarespace determine your available features, templates, and editing options. You can find your site's version in the Pages panel by scrolling to the bottom.

Version 7.1

  • All templates share the same features and style options
  • Uses both Creative Editor (for block sections) and Classic Editor (for blogs, events, products)
  • Template name isn't displayed after trial begins
  • Cannot switch templates, but extensive customization available
  • Access templates through the 7.1 template catalog or Squarespace Blueprint AI

Version 7.0

  • Contains 10 template families
  • Each family shares basic structure, style options, and features
  • Example: Bedford family includes Anya, Bryant, Bedford, and Hayden templates
  • Template name and family visible in Pages panel
  • Can migrate to version 7.1 using the update tool

Key Differences

  • Cannot downgrade from 7.1 to 7.0
  • Version 7.1 offers unified features across all templates
  • Version 7.0 features vary by template family
  • Different editing experiences between versions

For older sites using Squarespace 5, the interface will look significantly different, with no left panel present when logging in.

Migration Options

  • Can upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1
  • Must start new trial for 7.0 templates if currently on 7.1
  • Access 7.0 templates through the version 7.0 template store

For detailed feature comparisons and specific template information, consult the template comparison table in Squarespace's documentation.
