How did you set the document template? Can you further explain this?

I have the problem with index.tpl

```
{extends file="parent:documents/index.tpl"}

{block name='document_index_body'}
    Test
{/block}

```

This doesnt take affect the preview and the generated document at all.

Here is another one with the same problem, that not had been solved.&nbsp;[https://forum.shopware.com/discussion/33496/extending-bare-themes-pdf-template-for-invoice](https://forum.shopware.com/discussion/33496/extending-bare-themes-pdf-template-for-invoice)

Did it as described in the documentation:&nbsp;[https://developers.shopware.com/designers-guide/edit-newsletter-and-document-templates/#edit-document-templates](https://developers.shopware.com/designers-guide/edit-newsletter-and-document-templates/#edit-document-templates)

Please help me.
