I did not find any Help for the Template Manager. I would expect the following possibilities to open a help about the Template Manager: (a) Open LibreOffice Help > Contents > Common Help topics > Template Manager (b) Open LibreOffice Help > LibreOffice Writer, Calc, Impress or Draw > Index > Template Manager (c) With F1 when the Template Manager dialogue is displayed. (d) With a Help button inside the Template Manager itself.

This blog entry has some good information about the redesigned template manager which will hopefully help to write help: https://akkidevblog.wordpress.com/2016/07/23/redesigning-the-template-manager/
Checked again with version 5.2.1. A help page exists, but it's not up-to-date: https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Templates_Manager

Created attachment 132139 [details] Draft of Help File for Template Manager using beginner's template After discussion on the LibreOffice Documentation mailing list with Olivier Hallot, I agreed to take this bug. I am a beginner and this is my first attempt at Open Source documentation. Please advise how this documentation can be improved.
Thanks for the document. Very good start. Please note that you have another instance of the template manager in the start center. The start center shows when LibreOffice is open without any document or when no other document is left open in LibreOffice. When the start center is visible, a button on the left pane shows Template and a list of categories. It is important to write about and explain the difference with the TM dialog.
Thanks Olivier, I will look into that in the next few days
Created attachment 132302 [details] Updated draft of Help file for the Template Manager Included information about the Template Manager in Start Center, and added missing information about context menu available when right-clicking on templates in the main window.
Catherine Vance committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "master": http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/help/commit/?id=475e4baff99a7643a2b5dcf171c5415b1309a5bf tdf#94454 Help page for new template manager
Checked with version 5.4.3. Looks fine now. Thanks for fixing.
