Hey there  
I have run into a problem I will really appreciate you if help me  
I have made a deck of cards and shared it with my friends  
Now in a new version I have made a new note type and changed font and some styling and then change all of the cards note type to the new one  
but as I did a test, my friends will not be able to import the new update and use the new note type  
This is the error when they try to import new apkg file :  
`Notes that could not be imported as note type has changed: {number}`

note that both first and second fields didnt change I have just change notetype and styling and font …

Feel free to ask for more information  
Thanks
