Hi Ramon,

The difference is:

"New from template" overrides everything (including your page settings) you had in your layout, and "Add items from template" leaves the page settings and already existing items in place and just adds additional items from a template.

I think that this distinction makes sense and is already clear enough for the average user. No need to change anything.

Ah. A hidden change.

I'm following my established work flow.  Blank, then the toolbar folder icon, which now 
tells me it's "Load items from Template", except that because this is what I've 
always done, I didn't hang around long enough to see.

It's the same icon in the same place as the icon in 2.4 which identifies itself as 
"Load from Template".
I expected it to behave the same way on both versions.

I see that if I go into the menu and choose New from template I get what I'm 
expecting.

What's the difference between "add items from" and "new from" meant to be?

I'd prefer New from Template to be on the toolbar than add items, so I'm now 
curious about the change?
Is it possible to get back?

At the same time I see that the change means that now the icons map correctly 
between the toolbar and the menu, and that the new from template icon can't be 
on the toolbar without confusion.

Hi,

I've opened up a couple of new issues in the tracker regarding the Print 
Composer in Master.

The Print Composer is currently ignoring the page orientation in my templates, 
with flow on effects.

Ramon,

I've removed this issue as it's a duplicate of #11255. I'm after some
more details on this one though - are you able to confirm the steps
you do to make the new composition from a template? Specifically, are
you creating a blank composition and using the "Add items from
template" command, or using the composer manager to create new
composition based off a template?
