In the geodatabase context menu, under Import, what tool do we use to import a schema?

Importing a geodatabase schema means bringing in the structure that defines what kinds of datasets exist and how they relate—without loading the actual data. The XML Workspace Document is designed for this purpose because it stores the entire schema (feature classes, tables, domains, relationships, subtypes, etc.) in a portable format that can be imported to recreate the structure in another geodatabase. The other options correspond to importing actual data or specific data objects (raster data, tables, or feature classes) rather than the overarching schema, so they’re intended for data transfer rather than for rebuilding the schema layout.
