Text shows in preview but not in slide editor

Hi! I'm VERY new to Storyline and working on making small edits to projects received from an external vendor. There is a type in the header of each slide but when I go to try to edit the text, it's not appearing in the slide editor. It does show up when I'm in preview mode. Any thoughts on where I go to edit this? 

  • Try the slide master. You can right-click the slide and choose change layout to see what layout it is using.

  • Is it on a layer that has had the eye switched on, or is this object hidden on the timeline?

      I can't see it on the timeline or layers to see the eye on or off... i hover over each object in the timeline and nothing appears to be the top text. 

  • Blank is the name of the layout, which is a subordinate to the Master. Both the Master and sub can contain objects that show on each slide, so you have to go to the Master View to see them both.

    Slide master did the trick! I didn't see the layers in the master and was able to find it and update - thank ya'll both for the help!
