About master pages

Master pages act like templates, in that a master page can be shared by multiple publication pages. A master page can contain objects of its own, such as a header or footer.

If you edit a master page at a later date, all pages to which it has been applied will update to the new design instantly, although you can override master page content and design at any time.

  1. (Optional) Do one of the following:
    • If adding pages before/after a specific page, select that page in the Pages window.
