# LoadFlexiLayout

> Load a FlexiLayout from a file into ABBYY FlexiCapture Document Definition sections with the LoadFlexiLayout command in FCAdminTools, replacing the old one.

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.

<Warning>
  An additional FlexiLayout will replace the old FlexiLayout only if the two have identical names.
</Warning>
