Removing Master Slide objects from Focus Order

Jul 11, 2023

Hi

I may have missed a step somewhere, but I cannot seem to remove objects on the master slide from the Focus Order on s slide. See screenshot attached.

Am I missing something?

Hi Louise!

It sounds like you needed some help removing objects on a Master Slide from your Focus Order. I'd be happy to assist with that!

As an initial step, I would suggest:

  1. Navigate to Slide Master View.
  2. Select 1_Custom - Rectangle and right-click to access the accessibility tools option.
  3. Uncheck the box for "Object is visible to accessibility tools".

Object is visible to accessibility tools option

This should remove 1_Custom - Rectangle from the Focus Order.

If that doesn't do the trick, it would be helpful to take a closer look at your project file. Would you be willing to share it here in the discussion or privately through a support case? We'll delete it from our system once troubleshooting is complete!

Hi Louise,

"To remove a slide master object from the focus order, you'll need to switch to Slide Master View (press F4). Right-click the object and choose Size and Position, then select the Accessibility tab and uncheck the visibility box."

Taken from: Custom Focus Order in Storyline 360 - E-Learning Heroes (articulate.com)

So you don't use the focus order option in slide view to do this, but do it directly in the slide master.

Thanks,

Eleanor.
