--- Comment #9 from ajlittoz <[email protected]> ---
My workflow with template is different because built-in template management (at
least in Writer) would _move_ the file from its present location to LO internal
template folder (in user profile). This directory is usually hidden. So, it is
a pain to update templates.

I create my template in a user directory as .odt document for ease of update
and maintenance, not having to care for .ott instantiation. I can also use
File>Templates>Edit Template if the file is saved as .ott, at the expense of
opening first LO instead of a double-click (which would instantiate the
template). Thus my templates are all visible in my user directory.

When I want to integrate a template, I copy it manually in one of the declared
template directories. This manual copy _never_ causes any modification to
template contents.

>From experimentation, it is only File>Templates>Manage Templates which causes a
change in File>Properties, Description tab, Title field. I didn't check whether
an existing Title is modified by template management.

So, works for me. But at least a caveat should be documented either in built-in
help or in documentation (best: both of them).
