H1 text box linked with slide title
How do I link an H1 text box on the slide to the slide title so that I can update the text box and it automatically updates the slide title?
I learned something interesting. It isn't a perfect fix, but if you go the slide an put in the built in variable of %Project.SlideTitle% the text on the slide will automatically update to match your slide title.

Text entered on a slide in a Title placeholder will automatically appear in the Title field in the Scenes panel (which is what Storyline uses in the Menu).
It doesn't matter if text in a standard placeholder is H1 or not. That text won't be recognized as the Slide Title.
Bottom line: You need to use a Slide Master Layout that has a Title placeholder with the H1 style. Storyline 360: Using Slide Masters | Articulate - Community

That is a good way to get a regular placeholder to show the Slide Title. Not as good as having a Title placeholder, though.
To me, the big advantage of having a Title placeholder is that it's easier to type in that than it is to type in the Title field in the Scenes panel. Plus Storyline will indicate misspelled words typed into the placeholder. It won't mark misspelled words in the variable.
