Document Definitions may use FlexiLayouts that need to be periodically updated. When you update a FlexiLayout in one Document Definition, you may want to update it in all the other Document Definitions where it is used. To achieve this, use the LoadFlexiLayout command, which loads a FlexiLayout from a file into Document Definition sections that were created based on a FlexiLayout. The new FlexiLayout will replace the old one.
An additional FlexiLayout will replace the old FlexiLayout only if the two have identical names.
