Hello ,I have stacked several pictures on top of each other, and I would like to go back to a previous picture to modify some elements, but I can't see the previous pictures , only the last picture that was placed. Thank you.
If you have pictures stacked on top of each other on your slide, I can think of a few ways to make management/editing of those objects easier.
USE THE TIMELINE
If you name your objects well as you add them to your slide, it makes them easier to find in the timeline using the names on the left.
You use the eyeball icons on the left to temporarily hide the objects that are on top of the image you want to work on making it easy to interact with them.
This suggestion requires no changes to your layout process.
USE LAYERS FOR EACH PIC Instead of stacking objects on top of each other on the base layer, add each new pic on a layer of its own. You would show these layers as needed with triggers on your base layer.
This makes viewing each image as easy as clicking on its' layer.
USE STATES INSTEAD OF SEPARATE PICTURES Instead of separate objects on the slide, you can add additional states to the first big picture, then replace the image in each new state with your new picture(s). So if there will be 5 main big images on the slide, it becomes one image with 5 STATES.
Then you use triggers to change the state of the image as needed.

I'm glad that Jerry was able to help you, Alaa.
