I have several slides which I include in multiple presentations, such as a contact details slide.
Impress offers a way to include a slide from a separate odp presentation, using the menu option Insert -> File. Choosing the "Link" option during the slide importation allows you to update the included slide should the original slide have undergone changes. Very nice. There appears to be a problem with the implementation, however. There doesn't seem to be any way to visually know that a slide depends on (is linked to) an external "master" slide. So a user could / will unknowing make changes to a slide and then proceed to overwrite these changes the next time they open the impress slide set accepting the "update linked slides" prompt. Not good for data integrity. I searched the bug tracker using the keywords "impress import file link" but didn't find any reference to this issue. I'd like to log an enhancement request to ask for a visual clue that a slide is linked to an external slide (I suspect that implementation cannot be too difficult) but I thought I'd check with other users before I do so.
