Using the Master Slide to add a top layer

I have a logo that I want to include on all slides as part of the template. However it needs to be on the top-most layer.

If I put it on the master slide, any elements on the active slide may overlap the logo. 

What am I doing wrong? Can I add a logo to the master slide on the top layer and have elements of the active slide fall under the logo layer?

I really don't want to manually add it to each slide.

    Here's the default behavior of SL layers:
    Slide Layer > Master Slide layer > Slide Base layer > Master Slide Base layer.

    The best way to add a logo is to create a master slide layer and place it there, then take care to not let any regular slide layers overlap the logo.

    Hope this helps,

    Hello Claudine!

    As Alexandros stated, the slide layers will appear on top of any Master Slide layers that are created. You could create the layer and duplicate the slides, or just make sure any items are not going to overlap the logo

  • Hi

     

    Yes! I'm having this issue too. trying to first build navigation in a master slide to apply to all slides.  however it won't act as the top layer. I think this is something that needs do be developed by Articulate because other wise you loose the ability to update the navigation globally ... and have to manually do it for each and every slide.

    Same problem here. My learning consists of full frame screenshots, and I have to paste the company's logo on each one because the screenshot would cover it otherwise.

  • Hi Jim!

    You are welcome to share your thoughts with our product development team here as well. I could see where that would be an issue.

    You can also add a logo to your player.

      Is there a way, when going through "player" to insert the logo on the slide?

    If you create a layer in your SLIDE MASTER with the logo on it then set a trigger on the BASE LINE LAYER of the master to 'show layer when timeline starts' that will place your logo on top of any slide content (including video)

  • Hi Katherine, 

    Thanks for reaching out! 

    The logo is a Player element, so there's no way to place the logo on the slide from the Player. If you need to add the logo to some of your slides, you can add it as an image instead. 

    Hope this helps!

    let controls = document.querySelector("[data-model-id='60O8MBAYLcA']");
    controls.style.zIndex = "9999";

    Add that Javascript on your Master slide, get the id by using inspect in the preview.
