I'm sorry to tell you but the New Document from Template example is not working.
The description mentioned: 'The following command will cause the application to create and open a new document based on the template stored at the specified URI. The template file is not modified in this process. An additional command argument may be supplied to specify the default path offered as a save location when the file is first saved. It is possible for the user to choose a different location.' is wrong!
When trying to use this syntax: "ms-word:nft|u|https://cohowinery/templates/elegance.pot|s|https://cohowinery/presentations" it will open Word with the template and the correct SharePoint metadata fields in the property pane, but the file is not automatically created as when a new file is created in the browser. When you close the file, Word will still ask you where to save the file, and will first suggest OneDrive. So you still have to go to the SharePoint library. So the save location option is doing nothing. Please fix this or modify the documentation accordingly.
