Slide master layers
Thank you for passing on the request! I looked into slide templates, but that option was not as intuitive for our use cases. I did create a blank story file from which others can import slides from that presentation into their projects. It sounds like an identical process to creating slide templates, but I will look into the differences.
It would be more intuitive for the less savvy Storyline users to have the option when they add a blank slide to just change the layout from within their story and have some core logic carry over like layers.
Our example case for this feature is a captions layer for each slide. This layer also interacts with a global variable that affects every slide when that slide's timeline begins. Again, it's not the end of the world; it just can come across as tedious copy and integrate that layer to every new slide for someone less familiar with Storyline.
As always, thank you very much for the suggestion and for passing along the idea.
