 The NP `registerType` expected input is very close to the legacy format. However, there are some minor changes:
 
-- The `schema.isNamespaceAgnostic` property has been renamed: `SavedObjectsType.namespaceAgnostic`
+- The `schema.isNamespaceAgnostic` property has been renamed: `SavedObjectsType.namespaceType`. It no longer accepts a boolean but instead an enum of 'single', 'multiple', or 'agnostic' (see [SavedObjectsNamespaceType](/docs/development/core/server/kibana-plugin-core-server.savedobjectsnamespacetype.md)).
 
 - The `schema.indexPattern` was accepting either a `string` or a `(config: LegacyConfig) => string`. `SavedObjectsType.indexPattern` only accepts a string, as you can access the configuration during your plugin's setup phase.
