If you choose to publish the Studio version of the site, you will need to upgrade to a Wix Studio plan.

Once the new Studio branch is published, will it also carryover the subscribers using the Pricing plans on the Wix Editor site? Or will they need to subscribe again to their purchased plans? Same for subscribers to blogs etc..? ---

Do you know if this is something Wix is working on/has plans to move forward with in the future? I’m nearly finished with a manual site transfer and redesign from the old editor to Harmony and I would really like to avoid repeating this process. 😅 ---

> [@davebogan98](#): > > There was no mention of transferring code to the Studio branch… Is this doable or planned? Since it’s a blank site, the code won’t transfer. That said, it’s a branch of the original site, so you’ll still have access to the Wix site editor until you publish the Studio site (meaning you can copy the code over). * * * > [@briefreelancing](#): > > Once the new Studio branch is published, will it also carryover the subscribers using the Pricing plans on the Wix Editor site? Or will they need to subscribe again to their purchased plans? Same for subscribers to blogs etc..? Everything connected to the dashboard will still be connected - so subscribes and members will transfer 🙂 * * * > [@Ash\_Apelzin](#): > > Do you know if this is something Wix is working on/has plans to move forward with in the future?
