Everything I've read implies that the template only applies when sending a doc to a device, or when saving it to another format. I'm not interested in either of those. And if changing the template does affect the library's folder structure as I want, it's unclear what happens to my existing library. Will they all get updated, or does it only affect new imports? I'm hesitant to try with my library. I've been meaning to copy it to play around.
