Hello

Can a content type be changed after it's been added to the content structure?

I have a frontpage content type, and I'd like to change it to a folder type.
Can this be done or do I need to remove the one type and create a new node of the new type?

Hi Ekke

I followed the suggested steps in the docs. It did swap the location in the content tree, but did not swap the content type. Maybe this won't work when going from a frontpage to a folder.

Thank you for your help
