I understand that custom report layouts are not part of a report object, so if you built a FOB or TXT file of a Report in the Development Environment, only built-in layouts are included.
So how then do you migrate your custom report layouts from your dev to test database so users can test it?
It looks like you need to Export it from Report Layout Selection, Custom Reports, which will create a .rdl file, then in your test environment, you would need to first create a new custom layout (check the "Insert RDLC Layout" option) then you can use Import Layout to replace that default layout with the one exported from dev.
Is this really the only way to do it? Not a very clean way to migrate changes from one environment to the next.
