Which slide is using which master or layout

Hope there is an answer to this question. I am in exactly same boat...

By right clicking on the slide you need to select the layout (Which you want to select from Master Slide or Feedback slide).

Hi Kalyani,

I am looking for the other way: I am in the master/feedbackmaster view and want to find out which slides use a particular layout.

The simplest way I have found is to add a big shape (normally red) on the layout and then you can see when you return to slide view

I do what Phil does and it works OK as long as you don't have too many slides. It gets pretty tedious if you have many quiz slides with multiple feedback layers as well.

I think this would make an excellent feature request.

I already marked the masters but they didn't show up in the slide view. 

I just found some of the 'ghost' layouts in unused layers on question slides.

I agree, it is tedious, you need to go through each feedback layer of each question. I have projects where I just gave up because I couldn't find the instance where the slide master was saying it was in use.

BTW, I just put in a feature request for this and encourage you to do so too.

I'd agree with the recommendations of Phil and Brett here, especially in regards to the feature request as from the slide master view there is not an option to see which slides are using that master. 

Although three years old, this discussion is still current. Seems the feature request wasn't important.

I found out something strange (for nerds and technicians from Articulate only):

1. Added a clearly visible object to the Master lay-out.
2. Couldn't find the slides that should use this layout (according to Slide Master View there should be 7 (seven!) slides using this layout.
   
   Nothing new so far ...
3. Saved the project file (.story).
4. Changed the extension to ".zip".
5. Unzipped the file.
6. With Notepad++ searched for files with name of the layout in it.
7. Found one file: slideLayout7.xml.
8. One of the xml-items (sorry but I am not an xml-geek) is InternalG :
   
   
9. Did a new file search with the string "26998a0c ....".
10. Notepad++ finds 7 (seven!) xml-files with this reference.
11. Opened these seven files to find out the slidenames.
12. Opened these slides in Storyline.
13. The Slide layout is visible on one of the layers! When I look which feedback layout is used there is no feedback layer selected.
14. When I add a 'real' feedback layout to the layer the number of Master layouts decreases.
