What does this do? Title toggle
Sep 27, 2019
Hi folks. Maybe I have asked this before (it's bugged me for a long time now), but what does this toggle button do, actually?
I have used slide masters as much as possible over the years and I have never seen this button 'do' anything. I create lots of layout variants within a build and most times it is hit and miss if I need to add a new text placeholder on a master slide layout if it's already gotten a title and body copy placeholder.
When I go back to the slide, it is anyone's guess which text box the content ends up - invariably the title is in the body box and vice versa.
I know that the Articulate site has the following explanation of what it should do, but can I ask, has anyone ever seen it do this? Anyone? Is there a video explainer that can bring me through a step-by-step walkthrough of its functionality?
Just curious. But seriously...

Hey Diarmaid,
Great question here! Let's see if we can help demystify the Title box button. 😄
I recorded a brief Peek 360 video demonstrating what this button does and how it can be applied to a course.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions on this!
That's a great explainer, Vincent. Many thanks.
I don't know what has been odd about my methodology with Master page layouts over the last 6 years but toggling that button has never shown/hide the placeholder boxes.
I tested it now with a completely new file and, lo and behold, it functions just as you describe.
I guess the template I have worked from all this time just didn't link to a master slide title box.
