[Pro] Master Settings Confusion?

I’m confused about the difference between Master Settings and Master Content. Could somebody please enlighten me?

In short: Settings are applied in the inspector. Content is, well, content.

So content would be text and images?

Anything inside a container object. is content Where this gets slightly odd is nested objects. Say you put an HTML box inside another HTML box (as an inline child) on your master page. You put some text in the outer box (alongside the nested box) and some more content inside the nested box. Then you change both text contents on each child page based on that master. That’s going to break the User Master Content link. Finally, you go back to the master and make a change there. When you re-link a child to the master content, what do you see in each level? I don’t know, personally, and I think you might be well served by making an ultra-simple test document to try it out and see.

That’s my problem. As you know, with inline layouts there is a lot of nesting. I couldn’t figure out why my Carousel Action was getting deleted everytime I’d make a Master Page change, even though the Carousel had both of those options unchecked, but that’s the reason. Thanks Walter.
