Is there a workaround for tracking changes in Slides?

What I really want is a track changes feature for editing Figma Slides — but that doesn’t exist, so I’m looking for a workaround. The impetus for this question is that I have to edit a deck with slides contributed by multiple people — and I need them to be able to see specific changes where I edited the text or position of their slides in the deck. I’m totally spitballing some ideas here, but they are pretty convoluted — so if you know a better tactic to achieve tracking changes while editing, please share!

From what I’ve been able to piece together, it seems like branching (or possibly compare changes in dev mode?) could be a solution — however, it appears that branching (and compare changes in dev mode) are only available for design files, not slide files — so I’m wondering: Is there a way to convert a slide file into a design file so that I can create a branch (or compare changes in dev mode)? AND, when I finish editing, is there a way to convert the design back into a slide file again?

Again, I think that’s a pretty convoluted idea so I’d love a better one if you have it! 🙂

Thanks!!

(Note: I’ve eliminated using version history from consideration — it’s obvious but just too blunt an instrument to be useful.)
