I found this link on the knowledge base
Has anyone used this method or any other method that they would like to share. I am currently at 6.1.1 and sounds like its not a good idea to jump all the way to 7.0 but to do it in increments. Can you do the passive side first see if it works and then the active side? Is it possbile to roll back easily?

I have used the method outlined in this document many times and it works fine. There is no need to download or install minor releases in between the major releases you want. You would just need to download 7.0.1 and then download and install 7.0.3.

Just add to it,
In case if you face any problem after the software upgrade. Need not to install the previous version again from GUI, you may follow below steps to easily revert the 6.1.x OS.
For example: ( you have upgraded the PAN firewall from 6.1.5 to 7.0.1)
===========
> debug swm status
Partition State Version
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sysroot0 REVERTABLE 6.1.5
sysroot1 RUNNING-ACTIVE 7.0.1 >>>>>>>>>>>>> currently installed
maint READY 7.0.1
apply this single command to revert the PAN OS back to 6.1.5
> debug swm revert
<<<<<<<< wait for 1 minute >>>>>>
>request restart system >>>>>>>>> restart the system. Upon reboot the device will come up withPAN OS 6.1.5.
