These usually include:
- Checklists with a check box next to each step

5. Now open the “copy” version and go to the slide that lost its formatting.
6. Group all the components in that slide by first selecting the parts that lost their formatting (when you changed the resolution) by clicking on Arrange >> Group
7. Copy the “grouped” elements [Ctrl + C] and paste them in the new version. [Ctrl + V]
