Where exactly is the "load styles" dialog on Drawn?

trying to find the load styles dialog mentioned on Using Styles From Another Document or Template

  • Choose Styles - Manage Styles or F11 to open the Styles sidebar deck.
  • Click the arrow next to the Styles actions icon to open the submenu, and choose Load Styles

But i cannot find it. F11 opens the style panel, which is a simple list, with no option besides apply/edit/new.

edit2: just realized the help is specific for writer :frowning: i guess this was added only there. sigh.

You can use a little trick in Draw to transfer individual styles to a new document.
Open an existing document that has the desired style.
Select the text or the object that is linked to it.
Open a new document and paste the clipboard Ctrl+V.
After pasting, you now have the desired style in the new document.


You should create a document template with all user-defined styles.
