Can I copy json templates from old Dawn site (v 9) to new version (v 10)

Hello!

My live site uses the Dawn theme. A developer connected my site to Github, but because of the Dawn upgrade to version 10, there are tons of merge conflicts and it seems easier to just rebuild the site on the new version of Dawn.

Can I just copy and paste the old templates for custom pages, products, etc.. into the new site so I don't have to go step by step through the page builder and rebuild everything? I'm not sure if there were any changes to the structure of the template files that would cause errors... ie. I have a template on my old site called "page.faq.json" Can you go into the new version, create a template called "page.faq.json" and copy and paste the code in there and just point that page to the template without breaking anything?

Hey Cliff,
copying should absolutely work.
Haven't had any issues with v9 templates thus far.

Thanks! 

I started doing it already and everything seems to be working fine. I just have to tweak the colors since the color theme interface changed.

I actually did just come across an issue that pertains to the color scheme..... This is what showed up in the options for our footer.

If I'm not mistaken, this looks like you have translations in your old theme that need to be brought over to the new one.

Those should live under "Edit default theme content" in the edit theme portion.
