Can You Do This With Affinity Publisher?

[bhjmom]

Does anyone know how to do this in Affinity Publisher:

 

So I have a PDF I created with a day of the year at the top of each page (January 1, January 2, etc).

 

I want the dates to remain, BUT I want to make the rest of the page uniform with the same graphics, check boxes, etc. When I went to do this in Affinity (using a master), I realized that if I make the graphic changes to the master and apply them, all of the dates will go away and show only the dates on the master slide.

 

Is there any way to preserve SOME things from the master and "lock" other parts so they don't change?

but I'm afraid that if you reapply any master page to pages that have modified content in items based on master pages, they would be lost.

That's true, but what puzzles me a bit is that when you Open a PDF you'll get document pages but no master pages. So, you could create a master page, with additional decorations, and apply it to the document pages, and that should add the decorations to the pages. But I don't see any way to change the formatting of the existing page data because it did not come from a master page in the first place.
