Unassign masters from document pages
❖
Apply the None master from the Masters section of the Pages panel.
When you unassign a master from a page, its layout and items no longer apply to the page. If a master contains most
of the elements you want, but you need to customize the appearance of a few pages, you can override master items and
edit or modify them on those document pages, instead of unassigning the master.
Copy masters
You can copy masters within the same document or from one document to another to use as the starting point for a
new master. You can also copy masters to other documents when you synchronize documents in a book or import
master pages from another document.
