SL layer functionality is great. However, sometime a layer is better served as a separate slide. In these situaion, is it possible to convert or duplicate a slide layer into a separate slide. It seems that the only way to do it now is to copy the objects from the layer and paste it into a new slide then delete the old layer.
I agree, it's not always 100% clear at the beginning of a project whether a layer or a slide is best to keep things tidy. This would be a great feature to allow switching later in a project.
Hello, my name is Nosipho. I'm working with Articulate Storyline. I'd like to know how to change a slide in Storyline. I'm still learning how to use Articulate. As a result, I sometimes delete triggers without realising it, resulting in broken training because the slides no longer flow as planned. In that case, I want to be able to replace the broken slide in my training by copying a slide from the master file. Could you please advise me on how to replace a broken slide without having to re-code it?
There isn't any way to restore deleted triggers by importing them from Slide Masters. The triggers on a Slide Master function differently from the triggers on the base layer. In fact, both the triggers on the Slide Master and the base layer can trigger on your slide depending on how you set them up. Here's an article which you can check out to learn more on how to use Slide Masters in Storyline 360.
The best way to correct the navigation of your course is to manually recreate the missing triggers in the broken slides. You can use Storyline 360's Story View to check which slides are missing triggers for navigation.

The only way is to copy and paste as you suggest.

Just ran into this while developing a slide with many feedback triggers... I wish 360 would allow us to convert a layer to new slide.
That would make an excellent feature request, Matthew! Thanks for letting us know what you'd like to see. 😊
+1 for this request.
+100 :)
Absolutely, can' t understand why this is not a standard.
Thanks for your feedback Paul.
I wanted to share some information about how we manage these feature requests as that may be helpful.
I've attached this conversation so that any update we have to share in the future can be shared here as well.
Really sad to see two years later this isn't a feature.
What about the other way around can you convert a slide into a slide layer?
Hello Chris!
There isn't a feature to convert a slide into a slide layer. The current workaround is to copy the elements on the slide and paste them onto a layer.
We'll update this discussion when this feature makes it on our roadmap.

Still wish we could convert a slide layer into a slide. *sigh*

I'd also like to see this as feature.
This feature would be really great! Bummed it's not a thing.
