Issue with slides in Sermon Builder and Proclaim
I have been using Sermon builder for several years. My normal routine is to type out my main point, choose a word to fill in, Highlight that word and select "Fill-In," then select the create a slide button. What used to happen was, two slides were created, one with a blank and one with the word filled in. I would then export those slides to Proclaim where both slides were present.
However, now that second slide is neither created or exported. I now have to go into proclaim and select that word a second time to be filled in. This is an extra step that I did not used to have to make.
I am wondering what changed and why? Can we go back the way it was? Is it a setting that was changed in the update that I can change back?
Thanks for the help, and I hope I explained it well enough to be understood!

I have added the Bug tag to this post. It appears that Fill-in no longer creates blanks in slides. It would be nice if this were an option. I think some users appreciate having the blanks in slides while others do not.
It seems logical to me that highlighting the sentence with the Fill-in words and clicking "Add slides from selected text" would create a slide that shows the appropriate blanks.

That is the way it has always worked until super recently. The feature seems to have been removed, creating extra work for those of us that used the Proclaim import function.

Generally speaking, features like this were not intentionally removed. What has happened is that Sermon Builder is essentially being rebuilt. Naturally, this creates many problems and bugs in the short-term. In the long-term, however, Sermon Builder will be far better for it.
Hopefully this particular issue will be addressed before too long. Please continue to make note of bugs and problems as you come across them.

Sorry you ran in to this, William. The team is working on this now and the fix will be in the Release.

Just curious about the rebuilding of the Sermon Builder. I used it for several months and LOVED the results when preaching from my iPad. I finally gave up, however, because of the tedium in formatting. I use lots of color and font variations (size & style). As I get older, I find that doing so makes it much easier to follow my outlines when I preach. It's just so much work that it slows me way down. I'm just wondering if there are plans for any significant improvements planned in the near future that will speed up formatting.

Thanks, Jim. As Aaron hinted at above, we have done some foundational work to unlock future improvements in the sermon editing/writing experience. In my own sermon writing, I use the saved styles with keyboard shortcuts to format text pretty quickly, but I am very interested in what improvements might make it super simple for you?
