Masters

About masters, stacking order, and layers

A master is like a background that you can quickly apply to many pages. Objects on a master appear on all pages with
that master applied. Master items that appear on document pages are surrounded by a dotted border. Changes you
make to a master are automatically applied to associated pages. Masters commonly contain repeating logos, page
numbers, headers, and footers. They can also contain empty text or graphic frames that serve as placeholders on
document pages. A master item cannot be selected on a document page unless the master item is overridden.

Masters can have multiple layers, just like pages in your document. Objects on a single layer have their own stacking
order within that layer. Objects on a master page layer appear behind objects assigned to the same layer in the
document page.

If you want a master item to appear in front of objects on the document page, assign a higher layer to the object on
the master. A master item on a higher layer appears in front of all objects on lower layers. Merging all layers will move
master items behind document page objects.

Master items (top left) appear behind page objects on the same layer (bottom left); moving a master item to a higher layer (top right) moves it
in front of all objects on lower layers (bottom right).
