Applying Document Info to slides via Variables

Sep 19, 2018

We are trying to create a variable which we can apply to a slide mater which auto-populates the slide name and/or number.

This could then be used to:

auto apply subtitles to slides,
quickly identify slides for both compliance and improvement opportunities.

Our intent is to be able to minimise the amount of manual data entry required by the dev team as much as possible.

An example of exactly what we are trying to achieve would be applying merge fields similar to those available in a Microsoft word doc. e.g. Page numbers, File Path, Author etc

Does anyone have experience with this, or have any idea how we might go about reducing manual updates of the same without impacting existing content revisions.

Hi Kelly!

We've seen lots of requests for automatic slide numbering, so that's a feature we're looking into for a future update! For now, there isn't a way to automatically add the slide number or title to a slide, so I'll leave it to the community to share their experience and ideas with you.
