            Bug ID: 138876
           Summary: Can a user decide selectively which styles are
                    imported from an updated template?
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ Master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: sdc.blanco at youmail.dk

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"?
