Where Org Assets Library Office templates are cached on local computer?

Hi, 

 

I'm trying to find where word templates, coming from an org assets library, are stored on local computer...

I'm sure it is cached because if I have no internet connexion, I'm still able to use the template (initially I have pinned the assets library template so I could use it when disconnected).

 

I have a customer where some users do not get the latest version of a template (I guess it is only for users who already used the template)

 

UPDATE: The issue has been mentionned in another thread: Word: Updating templates in Assets library not working - Microsoft Community Hub

 

Thanks!

    Renaming this folder will cause the whole templates cache to reload.

      Ok, thanks. Next time the templates cache is not in synch with SP I'll try.

      Note: I've checked inside the folder but I only have json, txt and no extension files. Don't know if I should find a native template copy or if it is in a special format... But it does not bother me as long as this will refresh the cache...
