You can right-click a slide's thumbnail and select Layout to quickly apply a new layout. If you're working with a group of slides, you can jump into Story View and Control-Click multiple slides.
Ahh, my guess is you're inserting regular text box as opposed to inserting placeholder text.
From your slide master, click Placeholder > Text to create your editable text. You can style it like you would any regular text box, but that text will be editable.
If you are looking to reuse the slide triggers that you have an existing slide, you could save the slide and/or duplicate it to use in the same slide deck or import it into a new slide deck.

Hi Jade -

Here's a good overview of working with slide layouts: https://community.articulate.com/series/articulate-storyline-2/articles/using-slide-masters-in-articulate-storyline-2
And another article on basic layouts in Storyline: https://community.articulate.com/series/4/articles/using-basic-layouts

Here's a quick screencast: http://youtu.be/GdqulZc7z7M
Hi David,
Thank you for your answer. It helps me a lot.
But I have one more question...
I went to View tab and I modified one of my layout. But when I come to the slide I can't either edit the text or moving shapes. How come?
It's the first time I have managed layout I am pretty sure I did something wrong.
Thanks a lot

Hi David,
Thank you for this quick but so useful overview:) I do appreciate your support and screencast videos.
Now, I know that I should use "placeholder" from the slide master to add editable text:)
I have designed a slide with shapes and navigation triggers, My question is: can I save this slide as a layout and save at the same time the triggers?
Thanks!
