Description Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2014-12-22 13:24:35 UTC
In Impress, we use both Slide Master and Master Pages in the interface and many people also refer to it as Master Slides, so it would be good to standardize on one naming.

View > Master > Side Master
Sidebar > Master Pages [tab]

This has been mentioned quite often, Strange that there is no issue for it already, so great you did it. Thanks,
Cor

iWork Keynote calls them Master Slides and MS Powerpoint calls them Slide Masters.

Hi all, thanks for working on that, it has always been confusing, the functionality is not so easy to understand at first, so consistent naming is important. Master Slide(s) would be the best in my opinion :) Sophie

Decision to go with Master Slide confirmed in the design meeting.
Comment 7 Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2017-07-27 21:46:26 UTC
If the decision is to go with Master Slide, then i'm assuming we also need to change Notes Master and Handout Master to Master Notes and Master Handout.

"Master Notes" and "Master Handout" sounds strange to me. @Cor, @Sophie do you also think we should change those terms?
