When I edit a master slide, is the edit only for that presentation? If I edit a master slide, is the edit only for that presentation or will it edit Keynote itself so that all my future presentations in that theme have my personally edited slide? I use Keynote extensively, and have for over a decade, but I’ve always been afraid to edit a master slide in fear that it’ll mess up the Apple-created default slide for future presentations made in that same theme! Thanks, in advance!
