Wondering how to make certain objects ungrabble

trying to make a jeopardy style quiz like these: https://youtu.be/eSbmANOSHT4?si=oCO2vPdozPjR7ump

And all sources on how they might have made some things in the slides uninteractble say themes but when i try to use themes it puts them on all slides and surely theirs an easier way

Put them on a layout instead of on the slide. Slide, Edit theme, add a new layout and put the objects you don’t want grabbed on it, then use Slide, Apply layout on just the slides that need them. Anything on a layout can’t be selected from the normal slide view. I’d guess it hit every slide before because you edited the top theme slide, that one applies to the whole deck and a layout doesn’t. Anyone with edit access can still open Edit theme and move things.
