Did I miss a DD showing us how to, for example, make a regular Inf. Div. into a Motor or Mech. Division? If yes, could someone pass me the DD please.

just to clarify, you mean upgrading a single existing division, or changing that division into a different template.
Not changeing the template itself.
Not changeing the template itself.
My guess would be that there is an upgrade button. Like in HOI 3 you could upgrade a normal infantry unit to a mountain unit. My guess would be that the if there is such button, it would refit your current unit and turn it into a motorized unit instead.
Hearts of Iron IV - Dev Diary 6 - Division Design is about how you design and change division templates, we also know that you can change the template of a division in the field.
this is the button to swap the template of divisions. You either modify the template itself or swap it around for another one and all divisions created with that template will automaticly adopt to the new template
Alternatively you can swap templates from division to division.

Ah thank you! So to clarify you could for example click that and then switch it to a Calvery division and they would then be switched? Or am I still miss understanding? Apologies if I am!
It changes every division to the new template? What if I have 100 infantry divisions and I want to take one experienced one and change it to a different template. Are we able to do that?
Yes
It changes that division only to the new one if you swap it out for that division only. If you change the template in general it will affect all divisions. Lets say you have 100 divisions and want to modify 20 experienced divisions of them you can copy the template for free, modify it and assign it to those 20 divisions and you could also set it to elite status, which means they will get new equipment first.

What I wonder is how does changing a division template affect experience? If I take an experienced leg infantry division and shift it to a panzer/mechanized template, does the division take a hit in experience?
In the stream when they putted a new support company to the template it had a little negative impact on the division experience.
Podcat mentioned, that if you reduce the number of men in a division, The AI will sort out the inexpierienced. So reducing the manpower should boost the expirience level.
But if you change the type of battalion, it should reduce the expierience a little bit. Soldiers may need to get used to the new equipment (trucks, halftracks).
Of course, like @Syge said, that means if new battalions are added, they should have only recutes in it. Therefore reducing the overall division expirience.
So to change a Inf to a tank battalion will reduce the expierience of this battalion to zero, because thes are different men. But this could be countered, by your Inf battalions only keeping the best soldiers there are in the division.

Yes thank you guys. I guess in the end we'll find out for sure when we get the game.
