The Template Changer extension updates the style definitions, but it does
not apply the changes the title page and copyright page. Therefore I
recommend starting a new doc from the template and copying in the old doc.
But please do the info on the title & copyright pages manually - don’t just
copy those pages completely. Several things have changed, some of which may
not be immediately obvious.

On the Wiki or in the Contributor ODT files this info could not be found.

That usually slows down the updating of a book like Getting Started a lot,
because chapters are updated by different people and someone would need to
go through all the chapters to make the figures consistent from one o/s,
and then they all need to be reviewed. IMO it’s a very good nice-to-have,
but often not practical.
