Remember in ClickFunnels Classic how you had to update each page one by one if you wanted to change a header or footer? Or how you had to build separate pages before connecting them? That's over with the new ClickFunnels.

The new system lets you create things like headers, footers, and menus that update everywhere when you make one change. Build it once, update it everywhere. If you manage multiple funnels or offers, this alone could save you hours each month.

​Plus, the drag-and-drop editor is even easier to use while giving you more creative control. You don't need to be a web designer to make pages that look great and convert visitors.

The biggest change with 2.0 is that it's grown from just a funnel builder to a complete business platform. Here's what that means for you:

Full Website and Blog Tools. You can now build your entire website within ClickFunnels 2.0, including a blog. No more using WordPress alongside your funnels. Everything lives in one place. This means your branding stays consistent, visitors have a smooth experience, and you have one less platform to manage.

Better Online Store Features. If you sell products, the new shopping cart features might be game-changers. You can build a complete online store with product collections, inventory tracking, and smooth checkout. The system handles upsells, order bumps, and discount codes better than before.

Improved Membership Sites. While Classic let you create basic membership areas, 2.0 makes them much better with improved student management, course delivery, and tools to keep members engaged. For course creators or membership site owners, these improvements make life better for both you and your customers.

Customer Management. The new CRM feature helps you track and manage your customer relationships better. You can see your sales pipeline, set up workflows, and automate follow-ups. All in the same place where you build your funnels.

Visual Automation Builder. Creating marketing automation is now easier with the visual builder. You can map out customer journeys and trigger actions based on what people do, making your marketing more responsive.

Think of ClickFunnels 2.0 as growing up from a single tool to becoming the central hub of your business. The question is whether you need or want that much integration.

If you decide to upgrade, here's something important to know. Moving isn't as simple as clicking a button and watching your funnels transfer over.

Because the new ClickFunnels is built differently, you can't just merge your ClickFunnels Classic account with a new ClickFunnels account. You'll need to manually rebuild your funnels in the new system.

There is some good news, though. ClickFunnels has created a browser extension called Barnumpt (available at barnumpt.com/free) that helps with transitioning pages to the new platform. While it's not perfect, it can save you significant time compared to rebuilding everything element by element. The tool helps copy over your designs and content, though you'll still need to reconnect integrations and fix some formatting.

Even better, ClickFunnels offers a "Maintenance Mode" option that lets you keep your Classic account open and functional for free while your new ClickFunnels account is live and active. With Maintenance Mode, you won't be able to build anything new in your Classic account (it's essentially frozen), but all your existing funnels and content created before activating Maintenance Mode will stay active and continue working. This means you can have both platforms running for the price of one, giving you a smooth transition period without paying double.

People have had mixed experiences with migration. Some say it's smooth, especially with simpler funnels. Others have had big challenges, particularly with complex integrations or custom code.
Here's what you should know:

The new ClickFunnels launch in 2022 was rough, with missing features and bugs that made early users unhappy. Most of these problems have been fixed over the past two years, but the new platform still has occasional technical hiccups.

You'll need time to learn the new interface, even though it's designed to be simple. Expect to spend some time getting used to the new way of doing things.

Support for migration isn't always as helpful as you might hope. Some users report waiting a long time for help with complex issues.

If your Google rankings matter to you, be careful to keep your URLs the same during migration, as changing them could hurt your search visibility.

One user said it well: "The 2.0 launch was a mess. Basic features were missing, bugs were everywhere, and things I relied on daily were gone. I seriously thought about leaving. But I stayed, and I'm glad I did. Over the last two years, they've fixed most of those early problems."
