Arrangement/order from layout not applied

Hello Judy,
Thanks for the quick reply!
I did what you described and I know see the black bar when I look at the slide in preview mode. I do not see it however when I'm slide mode/view. Is it possible to see the black bar also in de slide mode/view? That would be helpful, because then I can immediately see what the slide will look like.
Is it possible to export just one slide (for sharing here on the forum)?
Greetings!
Unfortunately, you can't see how the final slide will look while editing, because that Master layer doesn't show until you preview/publish the slide.
Here's a post-afternoon-coffee idea: skip the Master layer. Instead, add a placeholder with a black fill to the Master Layout. Adjust its Text Box settings to Do not autofit. That will keep it at the set size.
Because it's a placeholder, it will appear on the Timeline of the slides with that layout, so you can ensure it's above other objects as needed.
To make it visible during preview/publish, you do have to enter text. Just type a space into it.
And, since it's decorative, remove it from the Focus Order.
😊
