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
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.
Thanks but I'm getting Object reference not set to an instance of an object. when I'm trying to import blogpost from the original installation to empty one

import document type
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
