Hi guys!
I want to use HeaderAndFooter from template, but i want to make some changes in a footer. If i add default footer it completly resets the imported footer - how i can merge changes and template footer?

Thanks

Hello,

importHeadersAndFooters, addHeader and addFooter overwrite existing headers/footers.

If you need to add/change/remove contents in existing headers/footers you can use the following approaches:

Use template methods available in all licenses (https://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/practical/adding-content-to-a-template).
Use DOCXPath available in Advanced and Premium licenses: https://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/introduction/docxpath. Headers and footers in DOCXPath are supported since phpdocx 9.5 (https://www.phpdocx.com/news/post/phpdocx-v9-5-release-notes/219).

Regards.
