If I add a graphic element over the title in a master or layout, that graphic is hidden by the title when in a regular editing or preview mode. Take a look at the attachment - look at the master and first layout, the gold checkbox appears. But if you view the slide, it is covered by the title (which has a dark blue fill) and there seems to be no way to bring it forward or move the title backward. This appears to be a bug but if I'm doing something wrong, please let me know what that is. I've been banging my head for about 3 hours now.
Hey Jim! So glad you reached out to us about this. While I can't send you any aspirin to help with that headache 😜 , I can send you a quick video tutorial to show you how to ensure the gold checkmark always appears on top of the blue placeholder.
Thanks for the workaround. Here's another issue with slide masters in Storyline 3 - if I create a layer in either the master or any layout that uses it, the layer is not reflected when I create a slide that uses that layer. I just recently viewed a video where someone made extensive use of a layout that had a layer and in that video it seemed to be working fine. As it is, I have to create a separate "template slide" and copy/paste/duplicate that everywhere. Can you shed any light on that? I've attached a project - if you play it you will see a pull-down menu but I had to add that manually, the layers in the master and layout are ignored when I create a new slide. Any help is appreciated.
You can certainly add a menu to the Slide Master layer, and it will appear on every slide. That's much easier than copying a menu layer from slide to slide.
Check out the changes I made to your file in this quick video. I hope that's helpful!
