Nothing has changed yet in the live template. If you want to go ahead and make the recovered template your new live template you have to overwrite the existing template with this recovered template.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">PLEASE NOTE:</span></strong><br /> - Template versions are not&nbsp; imported or exported with the DocumentsCorePack import/export functionality. Only the latest live version will be exported.&nbsp;<br /> - The limit of versions is set to 25 by default. To decrease or increase this limit you can set a settingskey manually with the name "TemplateVersioninglimit", and the amount of records as value. When setting its value to "0" the limit is disabled and unlimited copies will be stored (not recommended!).<br /> <br /> That&rsquo;s it! We appreciate your feedback!
