Operation Manual

Organizing templates
LibreOffice can only use templates that are in LibreOffice template folders. You can create new
LibreOffice template folders and use them to organize your templates. For example, separate
template folders for different projects or clients. You can also import and export templates.
Tip
The location of LibreOffice template folders varies with your computer operating
system. To learn where the template folders are stored on your computer, go to
Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Paths.
