I've got a master layout on my master slides, but It is the third layout on the list, is there a way to reorder those so the one I use the most is at the top?
Excellent question - I played around with this in Storyline, as I wasn't sure, and it seems you can't move the masters around or change their order. They are listed in the order they are created, except for duplicates which will appear below the original master set.
Slide Masters appear in the order that you created them. If you have any that aren't used in your project, feel free to right click the master and select Delete. That should help to tidy things up in Slide Master view.
Otherwise, there isn't a way to change the order of the Slide Masters, but I'll let our team know you have a need for that functionality!
There is a way to do this but it's a bit laborious. You copy the master you want to move and paste it where you want to move it to e.g. end of masters. Then you delete the old one and rename the moved one.
Thanks Mary for this suggestion. Yes, laborious and problematic if you have the layout in use, since you can't delete them. Sometimes the simple act of dragging things to reorder is overlooked or somehow difficult to implement.
