Multiple projects may use the same Document Definition. When you edit such a Document Definition in one project, you may want to copy it to the other projects. This will save time and prevent configuration errors. You can use the CopyDocumentDefinitions command to copy a Document Definition from one project to another. The command will overwrite any Document Definition having the same name as the Document Definition that you want to copy, changing its version number accordingly.
When you copy a Document Definition, the changes will be published immediately. The previously published versions of this Document Definition will still be accessible to the program.
