matured Maxi ISA advice

Hello there, I couldnot find specific advice on this in the forum and would be grateful for any help.
I have a maxi isa of £7000 which has matured after tracking ftse for 51/2 years.
1)i want to know if i can split the £7000 and move £ 3000 into another mini cash isa and still retain this years mini isa allowance.
2) The remaining £4000 does it have to be invested in a s&s isa to retain its tax benefit. ie can i now move it into a minicash isa in addition to the £3000
many thanks in advance for your help

    No, you can't split an existing S&S ISA into Cash and Shares. However, whether you reinvest or sell out, it does not affect this years allowance.

    No. Currently, its all MAXI and has to remain that way. Any withdrawal you make to fund a MINI ISA will use the MINI ISA allowance.

    It remains a stocks and shares ISA and has to be reinvested as such to retain its ISA status.
