Layout switching between Slide Layers
Aug 10, 2016

I know this title sounds confusing. But I will do my best to explain. Basically I have a button on the master slide that pops up a slide layer for a captions. On that master slide I have two different layouts a 'question' layout and 'course' layout. When I click the 'captions' button the layout switches from the 'course' layout to the 'question' layout and I have no idea how to switch what layout that slide layer is using. As it should just be using the 'course' layout. I have done this for a menu and it works great.
I cannot share my file unfortunately, but if anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Kyle

Hi Kyle,
Are these captions appearing as layers on the slide itself or on the slide master? On the slides themselves, layers are drawn from the layout you set up as feedback masters.
I know you mentioned not being able to share, but if you could share privately our Support Engineers can take a look or you could also look at stripping down the file to remove anything confidential and share that version with us using the "add attachment" button.
Hello Ashley,
Thanks for answer. The slide layers are also on the Master Slide. Currently I have the Captions working and then a secret menu that is also set on the Master Slide by selecting 'shift+m' the menu pops up and it's for quick navigation for testing.
How would I share privately?
Cheers
Hi Kyle,
Whoops! Looks like I forgot to include the link. You can upload to our team here to have them take a look at it privately. If you want to let me know once you upload it, I'll follow along in your case as well.
Thank you Ashley, I have just submitted a case through the link you gave me :)
Thanks Kyle and I'll follow along in your case # 00870709 for my reference.
Hi Kyle,
I'm just checking in and I see that Angelo was able to make some updates to your file and fix it to allow it to work the way you were describing. Please feel free to let him know if you need any other assistance on that.
Thanks I reached out just to get some more clarification on what he did as everything looks the same but now it works the way it was intended. Thanks for the follow up
No problem Kyle and I'm glad that Angelo was able to assist.
I had this happen again to me again and I do not have the email that was sent to me before is there any way I can get some help with finding this. Thanks
Hey Kyle,
It looks like the case you had was from over two years ago.
I'd open a new case and reference your first one (#00870709). That will get you right back into the hands of a support engineer.
