It would be great to be able to create a new presentation that has slides that I use every service already added in. Announcements such as Service Times I use every single time. I would like to not have to go and add it in every time I make the new presentation. same with my notes for my Pastor. I tend to have just use the same layout and change the titles and bullet points. So on.

    Hi Bill, thanks for sharing your feedback! I'm curious — have you found it easy enough to 'Duplicate Recent' presentations and to 'Reuse Item…' as a quick way to get your content ready for the services each week?

    @David Cosand (Logos)

    (I'm not the original poster and i'm not saying my situation is the same as their's.) In my congregation, our liturgies vary by liturgical season (Advent, Christmas, Lent, …) Each week in any season is pretty much the same except for the hymns, readings, and sermon. We do use the Duplicate Recent feature to duplicate the previous week, to create a new one. The biggest issue we have though is making sure the elements that need to be changed are changed, and aren't missed in the long list of elements that are already populated with texts. As we rarely have uninterrupted time in the editing process, it can be easy to forget that a hymn didn't get changed, or a reading, … Being able to create some form of template with only a few elements to be added in would make it easier to move the work of editing from paid staff to volunteers.

    We tried to create a template before which basically had blank elements in a few places. However during the Summer the "template" fell so far down the list of recent presentations that it got lost and the person doing the work just copied the previous week's presentation and edited that.
