Hi,
I don't have much SharePoint experience, so here goes: I have two sites, A and B. I'm looking to create an exact copy of a view from a document library from site A to a document library of site B. However "start from an existing view" only works for the same site.
I did not set up the view I want to re-create, it has 3 custom columns. How can I either:
1. copy or export the view to my new Site
2. find out exactly how the custom columns were made
Any assistance is appreciated, thank you

My apologies for the confusion, I mean a view of a document library, edited the post.
Basically the sites serve the same function, but for a different part of the company. There's a custom view in a document library in the original site, site A. I would like to implement the same view in my document library of site B.

Hi,
If you want to copy all doc library column and View from Site A to Site B, Lets export doc library template without content from Site A. Now import this doc library in a site collection where SITE B created (If SITE A and Site B both in same site collection then not need to import). Go to Site B >> and create new doc library based on template.
In order to replica of SITE A doc library view in Site B, go to the doc library and create or modify view in doc library view setting.
Hope this helps!!
Thanks
