raj-ng Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 Hi, I created a master page with a picture frame. I created a (common) page out of the master page and inserted a picture in the picture frame. How can I move the picture frame on the common page to another position? I do not want to remove the picture frame on the master page. Thanks.

Hangman Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 Hi @raj-ng and welcome to the forums, If you right-click the Master Page Parent Layer on the Document Page and select Edit Detached (or select Edit Detached from the context toolbar with the Master Page Parent Layer selected) this will allow you to move the picture frame or any other element from the associated Master without impacting the Master Page itself...

GarryP Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 In addition to the advice above, if you only have a small number of variations of page layout then smart master pages might be another option to look at. The “Hickman & Co” template which comes with Publisher gives you an example of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raj-ng Posted October 2 Author Share Posted October 2 Thanks for your fast reply! However, I use the German version of Affinity Publisher and I have no option "edit detached" or similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 (edited) You need to right-click on the Master Page layer in the Layers Panel, not a layer inside it. Or, with the Master Page layer selected, choose menu “Layer → Master Page → Edit Detached”.
