Can't edit layouts from the slide master
Hello Community,
I created a slide master, but when I apply layouts from it into my story, I cannot edit them; I can only edit them in Slide Master View.
I note that the elements from the master...
Based on your description, it sounds like you inserted text boxes and shapes from the INSERT ribbon onto the Slide Master. When you do that, those items are permanent for that layout. Those objects won't appear on the slide's Timeline. (Also note that they will always appear below objects on the slide's Timeline.)
To add editable objects to a Slide Master, insert a placeholder from the SLIDE MASTER ribbon.
