import document type

Using Umbraco And Getting Started

Umbraco 8

Hi,

I have noticed that there is option to export document type. Is it possible to import already exported document type? I have multiple web sites and they are with multiple umbraco installations. Can I copy a document type from one installation into another? For example the blog from the training into an empty installation

Thanks

Hi Sonja,

If you right-click on the ... of the Document Types tree in settings you should see the Import Document Type option, you can then choose the *.udt file created from the export.

Hi Sonja,

Is your document build up with compositions or inheriting from another doctype ? Than you need to export/import them first
