Document types, metadata groups, and metadata are identified by Globally Unique IDentifiers (GUIDs), and not by names, in the repositories. This ensures that all document types etc. in the repositories will have unique identifiers.

GUIDs for document type (Document Type X), Metadata group (Metadata group X), and metadata (Customer number)
|
If you, for example, delete a metadata, and then create a new metadata with the same name, the new metadata will get a different GUID than the old metadata – even though the name is the same. This will most likely cause problems when you redeploy your Project.
For information on how to display the GUIDs in Design Center, see Metadata Group Editor and Document Type Editor – overview.

You must never copy document type or metadata group resource files (*.dcres). If you do so, the GUIDs are copied and the identifiers are no longer unique.
