In https://help.libreoffice.org/7.2/en-US/text/shared/01/01020000.html, it is written: "When you open a document that was created from a "sticky template" (as defined above), LibreOfficeDev checks to see if the template has been modified since the document was last opened. If the template was changed a dialog is shown where you can select which styles to apply to the document." Main Question for this bug: Is the user supposed to be able to "select which styles to apply" or is this help page wrong on this point? Additional information. As noted in the next two lines in the help page, the user can choose to "Update Styles" or "Keep Old Styles", but then all styles are imported, without an opportunity for selecting among them. Here are the two lines in question. "To apply the new styles from the template to the document, click Update Styles. To retain the styles that are currently used in the document, click Keep Old Styles." Secondary question for this bug: In the first of those two lines, shouldn't "apply the new styles" actually be written as "import the new styles" or just "import the styles"?
Rafael, you implemented the dialog in 2012. Remember how it was supposed to work?
Have tried, without success, to find the relevant place in the source code where "template-checking" is done, when documents are opened. In this way, it may be possible to give an empirical "answer" to the question about the accuracy of the help page, so that its updating can be finished.

I believe this functionality, of selecting which styles to import, used to exist, see bug 60589, but was dropped (or converted) to the current "Load Styles" dialog (which allows selection among different style categories). But even that slightly less differentiated possibility (offered in "Load Styles") is not offered in the "open file" dialog, which is the question here.

Dear sdc.blanco, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION.
