Libreoffice 7.3.7.2 Community on Ubuntu 22.04.
I got a Powerpoint template that has about 20 custom slide layouts. When opening it in Google Docs and create a new slide, I can select any of the available slide layouts:
However, This is not possible in Impress. I can only select standard variations of the title layout:
(see below, due to 1 embedded item max for new users)
Is this indeed not possible or am I doing something wrong here?
The pptx:

Thank you for the answer. I now know I don’t need to look further.
I had to really search for that ‘master slides’ panel. I don’t get why such a common feature is hidden so deep.

There is more than one way to check the Master Slide view (e. g. menu View | Master Slide :: menu Slide | Change Slide Master).
.
What can you do to receive the Master Slides?
Thanks for all the help. In your odp file I can see all the master slides. The problem is likely in importing the pptx.
I’m on the latest Ubuntu version and this is the version that comes with it standard. I will try and install the latest LibreOffice from the libreoffice ppa.
A shame that Ubuntu doesn’t really keep up with LibreOffice versions.
I would not blame Ubuntu for that. The regular reposistories grant the stable versions of LibreOffice, but the latest versions you receive by using PPA (or simple download). I prefer the mentioned PPA version despite there are rarely differences to the download versions. - Godspeed!
