Removing Master Slide objects from Focus Order

Hi

I may have missed a step somewhere, but I cannot seem to remove objects on the master slide from the Focus Order on s slide. See screenshot attached.

Am I missing something?

  • Hi Louise!

    It sounds like you needed some help removing objects on a Master Slide from your Focus Order. I'd be happy to assist with that!

    As an initial step, I would suggest:

    1. Navigate to Slide Master View.
    2. Select 1_Custom - Rectangle and right-click to access the accessibility tools option.
    3. Uncheck the box for "Object is visible to accessibility tools".

    This should remove 1_Custom - Rectangle from the Focus Order.

    If that doesn't do the trick, it would be helpful to take a closer look at your project file. Would you be willing to share it here in the discussion or privately through a support case? We'll delete it from our system once troubleshooting is complete!

  • Hi Louise,

    "To remove a slide master object from the focus order, you'll need to switch to Slide Master View (press F4). Right-click the object and choose Size and Position, then select the Accessibility tab and uncheck the visibility box."

    Taken from: Custom Focus Order in Storyline 360 - E-Learning Heroes (articulate.com)

    So you don't use the focus order option in slide view to do this, but do it directly in the slide master.

    Thanks,

    Eleanor.
