I am trying to: Have or edit the same view on many sites of a multisite

I visited this URL:

I expected to see:

Instead, I got:

I would like to update a view on all the sites of a multisite, but it looks like I need to edit on each one. is there a way to import the view code quickly to each (or all) of the sites?

One way is to use the Toolset > Import / Export function to export your Views from one site and import them into another. The main drawback here is that it's not really easy to specify a single View, so it can be a bit of a hassle to manage duplicates and delete extra Views you don't need to migrate.

The other way is to use Toolset Module Manager to define a module that consists of basically just your View. Then you can save your module and import it into all of your sites.

Both of these approaches seem a bit complicated for what you want to do, to be honest. If the only difference between the old and new View is in the Loop Output, a simple copy and paste is probably the fastest way to do this.
