Moving uploaded content from 7.0 - 7.1 isn't possible?

I was told by a tech support that I would need to cancel my account and begin again in order to use the features of 7.1.

The cosmetic changes I need to make are impossible based on their feedback.

Is anyone else experienced this while updating the look, feel, and content of their site?

Unfortunately there isn’t any sort of migration tool from 7.0 to 7.1. What features were you hoping to use from 7.1?

I am currently using the Shift template and was hoping to get a new version with Previous/Next navigational features like https://novo-demo.squarespace.com/?nochrome=false.  This allows users the ability to move seamlessly through work in sequential order. Here is another site (possibly squarespace?) that functions how I would like mine to work http://www.craigandkarl.com

The goal wasn't to start over but tailor the work on the portfolio site to fit the latest version of my presentation. It's frustrating to see new tools and not be able to integrate them easily. The idea of starting from scratch is too time consuming making me feel like Squarespace crapped the bed on customer service.

I meant to thank you Thompson Web for replying. Truly appreciated.
