Can't interact with objects in slide master

Hello!

Well, I'm pretty sure my problem is connected to a setting somewhere but I can't find my answer 😥
So, the title is pretty self explanatory - anything I put in the slide master of one of my projects, I can't interact with.

Can someone please help?
Thank you very much in advance!

    The background image on your slides "blocks" any objects on the slidemaster. Instead of adding these images to the slides' timeline, right-click on a slide and select Format Background. Then select Fill>Picture or patterns and insert the image file.

      I had a feeling it had something to do with the background image!
      I changed it and it works, thank you very much!

      But isn't there a way for the slide master to be the lead instead of the individual slides?

  • Hi, Learning Designers.

    I'm glad Michael was able to help you troubleshoot your project! 

    One option you can also try, if it works for your design, is to insert the button on a layer in your Slide Master, with a trigger to show that layer when the timeline starts.

    I hope this helps!
