0. Open Template Manager (Ctrl+Shift+N) or File > Templates > Manage Templates. 1. Use "Tools" (gear icon) to create a new category (e.g., "New Category") and add one user-defined template in it. 2. Rename template in "New Category" to "alpha" ( after which it should appear as "alpha") 3. Change Category to "All Categories", and then change back to "New Category" Actual Result: shows previous template name Expected Result: shows "alpha" 4. Tools (gear) > Refresh (in Template Manager, with category set to "New Category") Actual Result: still shows previous name Expected Result: (a) that it was not necessary to use "Refresh" (b) but if it is necessary, then "Refresh" should show the changed template name 5. Change to "All Categories" and back to "New Category" Actual Result: shows "alpha" Expected Result: shows "alpha" In sum: it appears that a "refresh" is not happening in the right place. Is the "refresh" menu item in the Tools (gear) dropdown really needed? (i.e., maybe offered as a workaround, instead of getting the required refresh to happen automatically)?

(In reply to sdc.blanco from comment #0) > Is the "refresh" menu item in the Manage dropdown really needed? There is no information in the online help about "refresh". https://help.libreoffice.org/7.4/en-US/text/shared/guide/template_manager.html Maybe it can be dropped from the menu? Or if its function can be explained, then I can add this information to the help. Meanwhile -- category renaming and deleting seems to work as expected (in terms of how it appears in the template manager) -- except for when the category is not in the default path (bug 139710).
