In order to update without losing data you will need to boot into Recovery and install the new build via adb sideload.

Thanks @rik. Here are the detailed steps I used to successfully update my Pixel 4a5g unofficial build from Iode 6.7 to Iode 7.1 without losing data:

1. Back up phone, just in case.

2. Connect phone to computer via USB

3. Open a terminal

4. Confirm authorized ADB connection with adb devices

5. Download the IodeOS…zip file for the 7.1 unofficial Rik build onto computer

6. Boot Pixel into recovery mode from computer terminal using adb reboot recovery. This re-confirms adb connection and provides a clear path to Recovery Mode.

7. Sideload the IodeOS…zip file.

   1. On the device, select “Apply Update”, then “Apply from ADB”.

   2. On the host machine, sideload the package using: adb -d sideload /path/to/zip

   3. Wait for Pixel to show the “Signature failed” error. Choose “Yes” to continue to load anyway.

   4. Wait for Pixel to show “To install additional packages, you need to reboot recovery first. Do you want to reboot to recovery now?” Select NO.

   5. Select “Reboot System now” from recovery main menu.

   6. Check IodeOS system update information on the Pixel to confirm that the update was successfull.
