How to install a package.xml file to fresh Umbraco install in Visual Studio
I'm new to Umbraco and I need to add a package.xml file to a new Umbraco project containing some premade settings and document types our company uses. This might be absolutely obvious, but I'm not used to working with Visual Studio and could not find a way to do this.
You mean you want to create a package that contains some common features and then install it into other sites?
So first you need a site that has the premade settings and document types in it. You then go into Umbraco Developer section and create your package (you don't do it in Visual Studio, it's via Umbraco interface). See:

Once you've created your package you can then install it via the Packages section (Developer > Packages) and look for Install Local at top-right.
