Styles>New Style from Selection (or Styles Menu dropdown in Sidebar) opens dialog box with title "Create Style". Enhancement Proposal: 1. Change title of dialog box to "New Style from Selection" (to correspond to command). 2. Change label "Style Name" to "Enter New Style Name:" 3. Add label "Custom Styles in Document" between entry box and display window. Reasons: (a) the list shown in that window is the same as shown for "Custom Styles" in the Styles sidebar (b) "in Document" communicates that the list is local to current document (c) makes it possible to add this label as heading in help page Also enables change to help page, linked to "Help" button in this dialog, which is currently entitled "Create Style" https://help.libreoffice.org/7.2/en-US/text/shared/01/05140100.html 4. No tooltips at present, but maybe these label changes would be sufficient?
The dialog is used only for this purpose and for sake of consistency renaming makes sense. Code pointer: sfx2/uiconfig/ui/newstyle.ui -> property Title

Resetting to NEW -- because the following still remains to be done (for reasons listed above). > 3. Add label "Custom Styles in Document" between entry box and display > window.
changed summary to reflect what remains to be done (see comment 3)
The "Custom Styles" list is always "relative" to which style category is selected for making the New Style. It would be more elegant (and more useful for user) to have the label for the category list to shift, relative to which style category is being used. For example, from Styles > New Style from Selection, only paragraph styles can be updated, so the label would show: Custom Paragraph Styles for Document. If I select List Styles category in Styles sidebar, then open Styles actions menu in Sidebar and select "New Style from Selection", then only custom list styles are shown in the list box, so the label should show: "Custom List Styles for Document" (by indicating which category is being used in making the new style, the user gets feedback about which category is being used. This is particularly relevant for the drag-and-drop method.)
I don't know if https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/108159 does what is wanted here but it at least provides an example
