Does anybody know if you can insert different notes to each layer section? When I replace the original notes in a layer, the 'new' notes override all layers. What have I missed or doing wrong! Thanks
Hello Huw - there isn't a way to add different notes to different layers... whatever you enter in the Notes pane will be used throughout the slide, regardless of which layer is visible.
If you'd like to provide different Notes text for different layers, one possibility is this: instead of using the usual Notes feature on the player, you could add slide notes in a scrolling panel on the individual slide layers. Check out this tutorial and jump to about the 35-second mark.
I'd love to see this as a new feature, if possible! It would be incredibly helpful and time saving!
*To clarify-separate notes for separate layers.
Thanks for the work-around Jeanette!

I realize this is 3 years later, but I too would love to see separate notes for each layer! Please submit a feature request if you agree (see Gerry's link above).

The example file's attached in case that helps.
Thanks Jeanette, that was really helpful.

Yes, this would be a very welcome addition. Putting in my request now.
