Google 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).
