### 7.6.1. Migrating Built-in extensions or Custom Types

You can add extensions to built-in types or new custom types using the New > EKM Type action available in `/Administration/Configuration/Custom Types`. You can then use the `typeSettings` setting to set or modify the built-in or custom type by editing the WorkspaceConfig.xml file in the `/Administration/Configuration` folder.

If you later need to migrate your workspace, you may perform the migration without having performed the step of editing the WorkspaceConfig.xml. If this happens, data extraction will fail even if you subsequently edit the WorkspaceConfig.xml file and attempt to migrate again. The workaround in the case of a failed data extraction is to subsequently extract metadata using the Extract Data action. See Extracting Data On Demand in the EKM User’s Guide for details.
