Switching from Marquee to Brine templates enhances your site's styling options while maintaining platform support. Here's how to make the transition smoothly:

Why Switch Templates?

• Marquee family templates (Marquee, Adversary, Alex, Eamon, Ginger, Mint, and Shift) are retired
• Newer templates offer more features and better performance
• Brine family shares key Marquee features like stacked index pages, parallax scrolling, and banner support

Pre-Switch Preparation:

1. Document your current fonts and colors from site styles
2. Your content will transfer, but styling settings will reset
