 The 3.2 documentation for Template View (http://www.jackbe.com/prestodocs/v3.2/views/template.html) says that this is a beta feature and that

Custom views created with the Template view have two limitations:

·         Custom views are not supported for mobile devices. The view can only be shown in desktop browsers.

·         You cannot define topics or events that can be used to wire Apps together in workspaces.

Are all of these things (being beta, not supporting mobile devices, and not being able to wire) still true in 3.2?

Yes they are still true. Although I cannot say that all of the 3.2 documentation is fully up-to-date, this is and documentation in general for the views is also.

But please feel free to ask anytime,

How do you edit a global template view? I created a custom template, chose global when I saved it. When I open the mashup, I can see it as a view which I can select and edit. But any changes I make there do not appear to be saved. Is there a different place and/or method to edit global template views?

This appears to be a bug which I have reported. A temporary work around is to save this template locally to your mashable or mashup and update from there.
