Well, it's not much but if it helps to prime the pump:

Libreoffice extensions are tools, which can be added or removed
independently from your installation of the main program. Extensions may
add new functionality to your copy of Libreoffice, or to make existing
functionality easier to use.

Templates offer you a way to avoid duplicating repetitive actions when
creating new text documents, spreadsheets, or presentations. They also
offer a way to maintain consistency of document layout and standard
content, and may for example be used to maintain consistent branding
elements when used in a work place.


Best wishes,

Drew
