Process: Importing new layout from older instance.

Is there a way to import new layout into new CMS installation, validate it and enable it instantly(auto publish) without actual process of going into:

  1. CMS designer view
  2. then checkout template popup
  3. then publish layout and finally then to be able to go to
  4. CMS display view to authorize display and
  5. assign this new imported layout to display ?
