Linked Duplicate Slide Masters Error
Apr 25, 2024
Hi!
I am creating a massive interactive manual with no end of issues.
My current Issue is with my Slide Masters being interlinked when I don't believe they should.
I have created a Slide Master Group #1 with all the sublevels that go with it. Once I have assigned links to various slides/scenes and everything's groovy, I then duplicate this Slide Master Group to create #2, then I rename the Slide Masters and change all the links in this group, and then duplicate and create Slide Master Group #3, and again change its names/links.
The Issue I noticed is when I change the links in #3, it updates the links in #1 and #2 to match.
How do I unlink my Slide Master Groups so they don't affect each other?
Due to Client confidentiality, I cannot upload an example of the file.

Hi Gareth,
Sorry to hear that you ran into this issue, and I'll be happy to look into this for you.
Since you're unable to share your project file, I made this quick recording showing how I tested the issue. Updating the triggers on one slide master (3) didn't change the triggers on the other two that came before it.
Would you mind checking the video and letting me know if there is something I should be doing differently to correctly observe the issue you're experiencing? If the steps are correct, please try replicating the behavior in a new project file to see if the issue is project specific.
Looking forward to your response!
