Applying a Storyline 3 layout to an imported slide

A simple example of how imported slides are unresponsive to their layout:
- Create a pptx with a couple of slides using the default template.
- Import the pptx into Storyline 3. The slides appear fine and the imported layouts are also there in Slide Master view.
- Now make a change to one of the imported layouts in Slide Master that just came in with the imported slides. Eg right align the title and change the font style and font color.
Note how the imported slide does not adopt the new styling that you just made to it's layout. You can try resetting or re-apply the layout but it doesn't help.
If I create a NEW slide using the imported layout that I just changed in Slide Master then the new slide has no trouble adopting the styles from the layout.
It seems that although you can edit imported layouts, the imported slides that use those imported layouts do not change.
This is a major problem because I have thousands of PowerPoint slides to import to Storyline 3 and I need to be able to adjust their layouts.
Hopefully someone can help with this. Thank you
