You have a good instinct - finish any project in the program it started in. There's probably no need in this case, but sure, keep that option open. Before starting an editing session on an epub you always make a safety copy, don't you, just in case it all goes belly-up? Well, this time make an extra one, and store it particularly carefully! That's your insurance. In the unlikely event that 0.7.1 ruins your book (or the slightly more likely one that you get confused by the new ways of the new program and mess something up:-) nothing is lost.
Epub files are completely portable between different versions of Sigil. It's not like some programs that keep introducing new, non-backward-compatible storage formats.

I looked at those automatic things and they looked like they were pretty helpful to somebody like me. (I mean, I read up about them in the User Guide.) Like I've run into things where I go to save or whatever and the window comes up saying : 'Do you want to fix this manually or automatically?' I'm usually able to fix it manually but a few times I've been stumped and have gone with the automatic. (I've attached a screenshot of what mine preference window looks like. The only thing I couldn't find in the User Guide was anything about "Replace in all Files." do you know what that means?) And so, unless there's some concrete reasons why not, I was going to keep those automatic features and the Pretty Print Tidy active.
I'm still debating the notion of going with 0.7.1 (I really am a chicken), but I really appreciate your reassurance that the 0.6.2 and 0.7.1 are compatible. Thanks!
