Adding a button the library

I have used a shape (arrow) with wording as a continue button, which I want to repeat but not on all slides.  Is there a way I can add this to the library so it is easily accessible.  Thanks for your help.

    Buttons cannot be in the Library. You can create an object style which will

    take care of the formatting of the InBuilt States but it will not have the

    text/label. Copy/paste is possible. As you probably know, Object styles are

    part of the theme.

    Thanks I was just trying to save myself the copy and paste time.  Was hoping there might be a quick way.

    If this Shape Button will always be in the same place on each slide where it needs to appear, AND it will have the same action each time (e.g. Continue or Go to Next Slide), you could just place it on the FIRST slide where it needs to appear and set its timing to Rest of Project.

    Then you can control the visibility of the button as needed on each slide using Advanced Actions and SHOW / HIDE.
