Caution
Any changes recorded (tracked) in the document will be lost during this process. The
resulting document will contain only the changed text.
Organizing templates
LibreOffice can use only those templates that are in its template folders. You can create new
template folders and use them to organize your templates. For example, you might have one
template folder for report templates and another for letter templates. You can also import and
export templates.
To begin, choose File > Templates > Manage to open the Template Manager dialog.
Creating a template folder
To create a template folder:
1) Go to the All Templates section of the Template Manager dialog.
2) Click the New folder button (see Figure 58).
3) In the pop-up dialog, type a name for the new folder and click OK.

Note
You cannot create a folder inside a templates folder in LibreOffice.
Deleting a template folder
You cannot delete template folders supplied with LibreOffice. Nor can you delete any folders added
by the Extension Manager unless you first delete the extension that installed them.
However, you can select a folder that you created and click the Delete button. When a message
box appears, asking you to confirm the deletion, click Yes.
