Answers.Body: <p>As far as I know in principle yes. But my experience with CiviCase is mainly CiviCRM 4.4 and before. I do not know where the case type XML files are stored from 4.5 onwards but you should be able to find that in the CiviCRM documentation wiki. </p>

Answers.Text: From Angela's reply, it seems that the XML isn't directly accessible any more. Makes sense, with the new UI.

Body: <p>we're setting up a few case types, each of which has half a dozen timelines. Once we have set up one timeline, is there any way of duplicating it? I imagine that the timeline definition is stored in XML somewhere, in which case can I simply cut and paste in the XML?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
