15 people opening the same deck is not the same as 15 people opening 15 different decks that have just one slide in common.

15 people opening the same deck is not the same as 15 people opening 15 different decks that have just one slide in common.
- wayoutthere 6y agoGoogle has this feature and it's a damn nightmare. If someone edits a deck but doesn't have permissions to the deck a linked slide is from, the link breaks. Also, changes made only flow one direction (master -> copies). There's basically no repeatable way to use it across multiple contexts. Slideware is not the same as modular code.
- toyg 6y agoThese are Google-specific implementation issue, there is no philosophical reason why a single slide could not be a modular, referenceable object. I bet the old COM stuff could do it (of course it would then break if the document was moved, but again, these are implementation-specific bugs).
