Hi, i have ACF Version 4.3.4 with two Add-Ons:

Repeater Field
Flexible Content Field

if I wanted to switch to the new version of ACF PRO, I can export structure and data from the current version to the new?

Thank you
Fabio

No, you can’t export from 4 and then import to 5, not without a lot of manual work to make alterations. The best path from 4 to 5 is to follow the upgrade instructions https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/upgrading-v4-v5/
