Resetting story view slide titles to what is in the text box

Hi, using Articulate 360, current software (Oct 7, 22). On a new presentation, the slide title in Story View or when in editing the slide is what is in the first "Text Box" which is great. If you manually rename the slide, it becomes the new name, which is logical.
Is there a way to "Undo" or reset that? We have a group of stories and I would like the upper most text box on the slide to be the same as the slide title, but cannot seem to find a way to reset it.
Copied, pasted new text box, reset slide, tried different master slides, looked at all the properties that I could think of, search here, nothing seems to answer what I am trying to do.
Thanks

The slide title that appears in STORYVIEW, under the thumbnails in the Scenes panel, and in the built-in Menu comes from the Title text box.
Tip: In the Slide Master, you can have a Title placeholder off the slide. This lets you easily enter the title during development.
That was the answer I was looking for, and what I was afraid of. Thank you very much for your time and effort in generating the response. I like the idea of title off the page view.
Hi again, Dale,
I remember Dave Anderson showing that you could reconnect the slide title with the Title text box by typing "Untitled Slide" as the slide title. That didn't seem to be working for me yesterday, so I thought the functionality might have gone away. But it worked for me today. (I suppose I might have mistyped it...)
Anyway, give that a try.
FYI: I also added that info to my initial comment so it's more visible to those who might find this post.
Thanks, I'll give that a try and post back
Hello, it does look like Untitled Slide will indeed reconnect the slide title with the Title text box, at least it did today for me.
Thank you again, sorry for the late response
