That's correct 🥲

There isn't an import or export tool for reviews or blog comments and there isn't a 7.0 to 7.1 migration tool yet - although we'd all like to see one!

For more information about moving to 7.1, see the Moving from Squarespace version 7.0 to version 7.1 checklist.

is it likely to be developed - should I wait to migrate? 

it seems like a huge amount of work and a lot lost 

thanks for your reply 

As an Avenue user what video features do you want that Avenue does not have? 

just the ability to have a few videos up - without needing to use youtube to host them

You should be able to upload video files to Video Blocks on your 7.0 site too.

You can with Avenue, just add a video block to a page, and hit the plus sign in the edit window to add a video. A menu comes up with upload file (30 mins max) or add a link or select from library. This feature has not been up very long but it is certainly a good addition.
