Can't replace or edit picture in template.

Hi Storyline Experts,

We're just starting out with Storyline to beef up the visuals of our curriculum.  We've successfully used multiple design tools in the past but Storyline is a very complex tool to learn.  A branded template was created for our group by a designer.  When we copy the slide template and attempt to edit the slides, some do not allow the picture to be edited.  We can go into the master to edit but doesn't that alter the template for future use?  We just want to use the template slide and modify it.

Appreciate any help.

    Hi Renee,

    If you import a template into a Storyline project and then make changes to the Master slides within that project, they should only affect that project.

    If, on the other hand, you open your Storyline template, make the changes to it and then resave the template, your template will be altered for any future use.

    As a matter of course, it's always a good idea, especially if you have paid to have your company templates created for you, to make sure that you have a "clean" set saved in a separate location so that you always have a back-up in case disaster strikes and someone accidentally alters the original.
