Hey guys, I'll answer my own questions in case others are wondering lol
So, there's no way to automagically move a site that is on 7.0 to 7.1.
The only way is to rebuild the site on 7.1 and being a Circle member, we/the client have 6 months to get it done.
Once the site is built on 7.1, you connect the domain and deactivate the 7.0 site.
Sucks you can't at least copy pages and copy over to the 7.1 but best to think of them as separate platforms in a way.
Hope that helps! I haven't checked these forums in a long time so...
Would love to connect with other web designers/creators, so find us on IG! @atomicpixel.co
Cheers and happy new year everyone! 2021 has got to be better! lol
