I’ve developed a new project and I want to replicate the Forest Admin layout modifications I made in my previous project. The new project is essentially the same, with just a few additional tables added.

Hello @Alishba_Khan1, and welcome back to our community.

Unfortunately there is no way today to share a layout between distinct projects.

The usual use case that should be followed to share a layout between different databases is to create a new environment within the same project, connect it to the new database, create a new team, and then perform a copy layout from one team to the new one.
