Parent pages nested (“based on”) and linked from other documents, several per page in stacking order; hide single master items per page, so there is no logo on the chapter opener

Where to find itLayout › Parent pages

You base parent pages on one another and can link parents from another document. For a magazine, you can combine a basic grid, section heading and folio as several parents on the same page. The order of assigned parents determines stacking order, and individual parent items can be hidden per page. A linked parent is stored as a copy in the document, so PDF output and packaging do not require the source.

How to do it

1. Open «Layout» › «Parent pages».
2. Choose «Link parent page from another document …» for an external parent.
3. Assign the required parents in the pages panel.
4. Hide exceptions under «Master objects on this page».
