--- Comment #1 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu) <stephane.guillou at libreoffice.org> ---
Steps:
1. open Writer, write a few words
2. File > Templates > Save as Template, give it a name, pick a category, click
Save
3. File > Templates > Manage Templates, find that template, right-click > Edit
4. Confirm that the window is title "<template_name>.ott"
5. File > Save as

Result: I can save as OTT wherever I want.

Alternatively:
5. File > Templates > Save as template

Result: I can save the template so it is easily found in the Template Manager.

So we have the two options available. I think it makes sense as it works right
now, and is consistent. "File > Save as" goes to the file dialog, "File >
Templates > Save as template" makes it easy to add to the template manager.

What do you mean by "a template record"? How do you see that?
