Tell us what you are trying to do? I want to use the Toolset Plugin for a current client, but their website currently uses Custom Post Type UI and Advanced Custom Fields. Can I upload the Toolsets plugin and take over the custom post type from the other plugin?

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I'm not sure if you want to just change the custom fields control from ACF to Types or you also wanted to move the existing content a well. If you also wanted to export/import content then you will have to use the any of our recommended content import/export plugin:

For post types - please check if you see those post types with Types post type listing screen. Toolset => Post Types.
=> https://toolset.com/course-lesson/convert-existing-custom-types-and-fields-to-types-control/

Here is the detailed documentation about how you can migrate from ACF to Toolset.
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/migrating-from-acf-to-toolset/

Please note that - do not run migration on your production site rather create a 1:1 copy of your production site and move it to staging site and check what you can control and what content you can migrate.
