found it finaly! 
just click on "add layer" then choose "import" from the drop down menu, its right at the end. then select the slider, slide, and the type of layer ( text, img, etc). it will bring up all the layers sorted by the slide names. just click the + sign on th layer you want to add, and you are done.

Hi ibrar,

Would you mind explaining this in more detail please? The option in Storyline 2 is 'New Layer' and then there is no drop down menu I can see. Am I missing something obvious?

I have added layers using multiple avenues (New layer icon; Insert>Slide Layer) but the additional importing option was never offered.

It would be great if this can work as the duplicate slide then customise option will be a bit long winded in my circumstances, although it seems to be the only option available. 

Thank you :)
