[suggestion] OnlyOffice Desktop Templates

I would like to be able to save template files (*.dotx) and open them directly from the OnlyOffice “Templates” menu.
I read that someone planned to implement this in version 7.4, but we are now on version 9.4.

It would be great to have the following workflow:

  • Click Save As
  • Either check a Template checkbox, or—when selecting a template file type—be automatically redirected to the template location
    OR
  • Add an additional option like Save as Template

When opening the OO menu → Templates, my custom templates should appear under the User tab.

Currently, saving a file as a template doesn’t make much sense, because when you open it, the first thing you have to do is rename it and save it again.

Hello @Torsten

To avoid creating duplicate suggestions, can you point on this? A link, for instance. Possibly, you are referring to: In onlyoffice desktop version 7.4, where are the form template files stored?
