Support for using templates like .potx and .crtx to create Office on Web Addins

The web version doesn’t seem to support the creation of new PowerPoint documents using .potx files or charts using .crtx files. Will this functionality be available in the future, or is there a recommended way to achieve this?


Currently in COM addins we use lot of .potx templates to set some predefined custom layouts , colors themes based on different needs.
We also use .crtx as pre-defined templates to custom charts.

    Agreed.  Office.js needs the equivalent of VBA/VSTO's Presentations.Open method where the supplied argument can be the path to a .potx file.  This implies that developers also need the Presentations object (and most or all of its methods and properties found in VBA/VSTO).
