Document templates are generally stored in a subdirectory “converter”. If you know where to find it in the different operating systems, fine. Yet, and this happened to me today, a new version of ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editor installed on macOS (version 9.2.0) swept my templates (a bunch of MS-Office templates I created in the past) out of the templates folder.
It would be quite handy to have a separate folder or directory, which can be added to the general settings of ONLYOFFICE. Similar to Microsoft Word. Here, I can define two additional locations for user templates: the user templates themselves (the personal ones) and the working group templates. In case of an ONLYOFFICE update, these folders will be kept untouched and, if the general settings are kept, accessible by ONLYOFFICE. If the settings are emptied (did not happen, yet), the re-entry of the template locations would be a minor work.
Well, I try to explain it with screenshots from MS Word and OnlyOffice. A separate directory to keep the own templates would improve the work experience with OnlyOffice.
That’s interesting. Is custom directory displayed separately in the app itself?
By the way, you can always use Create from template option in File when creating a new empty document. That way you can always choose necessary folder, etc.
