Changing the document type of a document causes the document to take on all of the characteristics of the destination document type: its file naming convention, workflow, revision numbering, and so on. This is useful to transition a document from a pre-production phase to a production phase of its life cycle. Another example is to change a document with a normal document type to a hybrid document type.
Important!
If the document type you change to does not use the same properties as the original document type, you will lose access to that information.
