Can I copy a slide in a presentation?	No, you cannot copy slides in a presentation. If you need to create a slide similar to another one you just created, you have to build the slide again.
Can I change the template of a slide after I created it?	No, you cannot change the template of a slide after you created it. If you need to change the template in a slide, you must create a new slide, pick the template you need, and build the slide again.
Why do I see this symbol instead of the regular mouse pointer?	The symbol represents the Move pointer. When you create or edit a slide and go to the Live Preview tab to preview the slide, you can click the Move button to move the preview slide up and down, left and right, as needed. This is helpful if you have increased the size of the slide but you want to see all its sections up close. When you click the Move button, the regular mouse pointer changes into the Move pointer so that you can move the slide. When you don't need to move the slide anymore, click the Move button again to disable the Move pointer and use the regular mouse pointer again.

Do not use .png, .bmp, or .tiff file formats for image assets in the CCS

If you want to link to a .pdf hosted internally, you can type an absolute URL on the Hyperlink window (e.g., /training_content/<path>.pdf). To use this option, you must upload the file as a File training type and use the link from the Training Details screen. If you want to link to a .pdf hosted on a local directory or network (e.g., \\network_directory_path.pdf).
