Troubleshooting

• In case data could not be retrieved from Clarizen on publishing the slides (due to a missing field for example), the PowerPoint will be published and instead of the data, #N/A will appear.
• In case the Roadmap could not be retrieved from Clarizen on publishing the slide, an image with Unable to retrieve will appear instead of the actual roadmap.
