About overriding and detaching master objects
Sometimes you want a specific page to be only slightly different from a master. In this
situation you don't need to re-create the master layout on the page or create a new
master. You can override (modify) any master object or object attribute; other master
objects on the document page will continue to update with the master. You can control
master object updates in the following ways:
Override individual attributes of an object You can selectively override one or more
attributes of a master object. For example, suppose a document page contains a frame
from a master, and you override the frame's size. If you resize the original frame on the
master, the size of the frame on the document page remains unchanged. However, if you
change the fill color of the same frame on the master, the fill color changes on the resized
frame on the document page. In short, overrides occur on an attribute-by-attribute basis.
Detach objects from their master On a document page, you can detach (disassociate) a
master object from its master. When you do this, none of the object attributes on the
document page updates when you edit the object on the master.
Remove overrides You can remove overrides from master objects. When you do this, the
object's attributes revert to their state on the corresponding master, and will once again
update when you edit the master. You can remove overrides for selected objects or all
objects on a spread, but not across an entire document at once. You can't remove
overrides from objects detached from the master.
Reapply the master You can reapply a master to a page. All master objects appear with
the attributes they have on the corresponding master. While removing master overrides
returns overridden master objects to their original state on the master, reapplying a
master doesn't change overridden or detached objects, but will leave them on the page
while reintroducing their master versions. For this reason, reapplying a master may result
in two copies of some objects on the page.
