Sychronize Master Slides across projects?

Is there a way to synchronize Master Slides across projects, such as a library or content cloud area? I am hoping to utilize the same master slide sets for all authors at our organization who are using different computers, and I picture some small changes occurring during our content development process (colors, logos, etc).   Since these are master slides, we would not be changing any object locations, but may update as needed for theme reasons.  Is there a way to share master slides such that I can change it in one place and have each project updated prior to publishing?

Master slides are one component of themes. Save anf apply the theme to the projects. Cloud synchronization is oot an option, but if everyone has access to the custom theme, applying it to a project is very easy. Have a look at:

Thanks. That is much more than I was originally looking at doing, but that is what I am looking for in the long run.

You need to include the object styles, reason why I talk about the Theme itself. Those object styles are used on the master slides. if you override those styles, eventual changes will take a lot more time in the future. Beware: explanations about themes in most books/training are not correct. Even provided themes often do not follow the rules of good practice. Look at the Theme Colors palette in the different included thems, and you'll understand what I mean. Moreover the CP2017 themes all have a bug concerning the object styles for feedback text. I explained how to repair that ug in:
