Make text on master slide always on top
Layers work a bit differently. They use the Feedback Master layout not the Slide Master layout, so any objects on layers will always appear on top of the base layer by default.
If you want a footer (or any other element) to stay on top of both the base layer and any slide layers, you’ll need to add it to the Feedback Master slide (normally "Blank" layout), as well and target it again with JavaScript to assign it a higher z-index value.
In this example, the footer element is positioned on top of the gray background shape on both the base layer and other layers. Attached is the Storyline file used in this example.
For whatever reason, still doesn't work. They just need to make this an easy option.
Sorry about that. My example might be a bit oversimplified and could differ from what you have in your project.
Hello everyone,
I wanted to chime in and share that the behavior you're experiencing is expected. Any object placed in a slide master layout automatically gets placed behind elements in a slide, and there's no way to set them so that they appear on top of base layer objects. This is why you don't see slide master objects on the slide's timeline, they exist entirely in their own space behind the slide's base layer.
One workaround is to design a slide with a footer, place it in a different scene, or save it as a template, and then copy the slide with the footer whenever needed. Doing this will allow you full control over the placement of the footer.
