# Moving Team Lineups into the New Lineups Section

Lineup sheets used to live under Teams. They now have their own Lineups section with a layout builder, templates and live roster links. Your older team lineups are still there, and you can bring any of them across in one click.

## Step 1 — Find your old lineups

Go to **Teams**, open your team and click **Lineups**. You'll see a **Lineups have moved** banner and your older lineups below it.

## Step 2 — Import a lineup

Click **Import into Lineups** next to a lineup. HockeyShare copies it into the new Lineups section and opens it in the editor.

After importing, the button changes to **Open imported**. Clicking it takes you to the copy.

## What carries over

- The layout, as a **Classic Game Sheet**: forward lines, defense pairs and goalies in the same order.
- Your section colours, as the sheet theme.
- Players still on the team, linked so they stay up to date.
- Players no longer on the team, as write-ins with their typed details.
- Staff, not dressed, officials, footer text, the game, and the lineup image.

## What stays the same

- Your original lineup stays under Teams. Importing never changes or deletes it.
- Old print and share links keep working.
- Older lineups can't be edited under Teams any more. Import them to keep editing.

## Good to Know

- The team owner, team managers and the coach who created the lineup can import it.
- An imported lineup counts toward the Free plan's 2-lineup limit.
- Delete the imported copy and the button goes back to **Import into Lineups**.

## Tips

- Import only the lineups you still use. The rest stay under Teams for printing.
- After importing, turn on **Show headshots** or switch the theme. There's a lot more you can do with the new builder.
