Looks great so far @cgaarden. I some minor suggestions inline. You should also add New+ to the toc.yml in the dev-environment folder.

@cgaarden Could you help me understand the New+ feature a little better. I'd like to expand the docs page a bit to explain the feature and the templates. We're starting to get some customer feedback asking how the templates work and whether New+ has a template format that should be followed.

Is it just matter of putting templates from other programs into your folder(s)? Like put an .xslt file in there so you can click it from the menu to open Excel with that template? Or is there a specific template format/schema that must be followed? Thanks!

Hi @alvinashcraft Yes that's basically it - you can take any file (.docx, xslx, etc.) or folder (with 0 or more files or subfolders) and copy it into the templates folder (Right click -> New+ -> Open Templates) Here's a very old video - I can record a new one too if that is useful: https://youtu.be/MVhocy7N-VU
