Hello, I have not been creating any new websites in Rapidweaver. My concern is that Elements will not be able to edit Rapidweaver websites. Can someone let me know how this will work in the future?

Think of them as two totally separate things. You can make sites in RW Classic now and continue to do so in the future. Elements will not be able to open an RW Classic file (or RW8) so one day in the future you may have to replicate your site if 1) RW Classic stops being supported and a subsequent OS change renders it unusable or 2) you decide to change software to Elements or something else.
