Hi,
I would like to propose an addition that I believe could speed up some workflow.
It would be helpful in the properties tab of a Content item that next to the template name, if the user has permissions to Settings section, would be an "edit template" button similar to the "publish/unpublish" button below on the properties tab.
This would certainly speed up getting to the correct template quickly without have to do a number of navigation clicks and mentally having to find the item you are looking for.
