[libreoffice-users] 4.0.0's use of personas

Hi :)
The marketing list keep going on about using "personas" in LibreOffice 4.0.0 but i'm embarrased to 
admit i have no idea what they are talking about nor how to use them.  


Does anyone here know how to use "personas"?  Does one create them in LibreOffice or import them 
from elsewhere?  

Regards from
Tom :)
