Cover Pages in v7.1
Squarespace has just added Cover Pages to version 7.1!
Cover Pages were previously only available on version 7.0 and so werenβt supported on version 7.1 or by the 7.0 to 7.1 Update Tool. This meant that any cover pages would be removed when migrating from version 7.0 to 7.1 using the Update Tool. If your homepage was a cover page, you were prompted to replace it with a 7.1 supported page type.
From 02 April 2024, the update tool converts your 7.0 cover pages to new 7.1 pages, keeping your content and matching styling as closely as possible. In line with the overall Update Tool experience, you can expect to need to edit migrated cover pages, particularly block placement, fonts, and backgrounds with multiple images or solid color images. Cover page migrations are complemented by the recently released feature to hide headers and footers on 7.1 pages.
