Elements on Slide Master layouts do not appear or are not editable on slides
I understand I can use the Set Background option for individual slides but that has limitations (I cant use any of the online assets, I have to use local image files).
Hello Randall,
Thanks for sharing a copy of your project file. I tested it and confirmed that its being affected by a known issue where the placeholder image positioned as a background graphic in the slide masters layout moves to the front when an actual image is inserted on the slide. Our apologies for any inconvenience this bug may have caused. The identified workaround is to manually insert objects into the slide and avoid using placeholders.
I've added this ELH post to the bug report so we can notify you as soon as a fix is released. Let me know if we can help you with anything else!
Any news on this? It really makes use of a placeholder feature limited. In our case we want to have a background cover which has editable artwork to be replaced by the content creators, but it has other non-placeholder elements on top of it. As placeholder items have this fault, non-editable elements drop behind the cover image.
