Templates is kind a shit still. Changes updates don’t go to the files that are using the Template, what makes no sense to me, since is published as a Library.
And now, I went to sleep and woke up to continue my work on a slide deck, and i just lost all of the text styles of the template. Then, I’ll have to again, take one slide and reapply all the styles of the “new” template of the slide (is the same template, but “republished”. NO SENSE.
I just spent like 5+ hours to configure the Deck Template, and now is just not showing all the text styles… Just very frustrating and discouraging to keep using the tools.
