Farid, what the way did you use to save templates? Could you please write it here step-by-step?
Comment 2 Farid 2026-01-29 14:52:27 UTC

In Writer:
File > Template > Save as template; 
in the dialog: write the name e.g. "template" and select "My Templates" category.

In Draw: the same path as Writer but with the same name "template"


@Roman Kuznetsov thank you for looking into this issue.

Best,
Farid

In Writer:
File > Template > Save as template; 
in the dialog: write the name e.g. "template" and select "My Templates" category.

In Draw: take the same path as Writer but save the template with the same name "template"
