Parent Pages

What's a parent page?

A parent page is like a background that you can quickly apply to many pages. Objects on a parent page appear on all pages applied.

• Parent page items that appear on document pages are surrounded by a dotted border.
• Changes you make to a parent page are automatically applied to associated pages.
•  A parent item cannot be selected on a document page unless overridden.

If you try to edit something and cannot select it, it is likely on a parent page. Look for the dotted border to be sure.
