Abstract
A method to display changes to a master slide for a presentation includes receiving from a user on a client computer, a selection pertaining to the master slide in a presentation document comprising a plurality of slides, and identifying at least one slide in the presentation document that is dependent on the master slide. The method further includes providing, for display at the client computer, a presentation editing user interface comprising the master slide and the plurality of slides in the presentation document, the plurality of slides comprising the at least one dependent slide and one or more other slides that are not dependent on the master slide, wherein each dependent slide is automatically updated as edits are made to the master slide, and wherein the at least one dependent slide is to include a visual indicator that distinguishes the dependent slide from the other slides that are not dependent on the master slide.
