As often as LibreOffice is updated, you're installing it again anyway
even if it's on installation media. But LibreOffice is included in the
Workstation product. If you want something else, launch Software, see
the installed list, click the Remove button on what you don't want,
and it's removed. Installation of what you do want works the same way.

I think the top two biggest applications on Workstation are FireFox
and LibreOffice. This is because they're popular and most everyone
wants those things to start out with. But the fallout is that
invariably, if you're committed to installing, you effectively
download these things twice. Once in the media itself, and again when
it's updated right after installation. So from the point of view of
getting what you want, you're better off with netinstall media.
