SL360 - Feedback Master Issue

Any chance you have a question bank included within your story file?  That would account for some of the extra (mystery slides) using up slide masters.

Hi Tracy, 

It does seem like those Modern Feedback masters were on my Questionbank. Which is good because now I can fix them.

I'm still struggling with some Feedback Masters where I can't seem to figure out where they are linked (I've removed all of my Freeforms from the project and my Questionbank and they are still sticking around.) I have cleared them so that they are just blank slides for now...

Is there any way of knowing where a Feedback Master is linked if there aren't any 'Feedback' layers? Is something hidden somewhere from it being an SL2 project originally? 

Hey Michelle, 

Have you tried importing your slides into a new file to see if that eliminates the masters that you are not using in your course?

That's usually an easy way to get those cleaned up.

Hi Leslie,

I have imported my project into a new clean file, and the extra Masters continue to come along with it.

Can you explain how the 'Preserve' feature works? I've tried to turn it on and off different Masters but it seems a bit buggy. Like, it doesn't always let me turn it off a particular slide or when I manage to it doesn't let me turn it back on. 

I'm just trying whatever I can at the moment. I know that making a brand new project with my new Master in the future will be easy, it's just tidying up my older projects that are proving difficult. 

Sure.

So, the Slide Masters are a part of your project as long as you're using them and you cannot delete them, right?

Let's say you have a Slide Master that you do not want to delete, even though you're not using it right now. That's preserving. 

You can read more details here.

Hey, so I've managed to narrow down the issue to 11 slides that have 'Feedback' masters applied to them where I want to remove those feedback masters. 

The issue is that these slides don't have 'Feedback', they aren't Freeforms or anything like that. So why are there Feedback Masters for each of these slides?

Would I be able to privately send you over the SL360 file so you can see what I am talking about?

Absolutely, Michelle.

You can send it to me privately by uploading it here. I'll delete it when I'm done troubleshooting.
