See [Unable to open a template files (ott, ots, otp, otg) with Collabora Online / Nextcloud Office · Issue #2315 · nextcloud/richdocuments · GitHub](https://github.com/nextcloud/richdocuments/issues/2315) - currently, we cannot open OTT files. Neither for editing them nor for creating documents from them. This happens within the most current version of Nextcloud, which documents and collabora. In earlier times, a click on an OTT document led to the creation of a new document based on that template. ---
