: InDesign: How to restore text-frame position/size to be managed by the master page instead of the actual page? I have some designer that moved slightly a text-frame and in order to be managed

@Courtney577

I've been faced with the same issue. I had too many items to replace (hundreds) so instead of resetting the master on each page, I added guides (by dragging from the ruler) on the master page to mark the centre point of my text areas.

Then, on each problem page I dragged the overridden text area to the correct position (which snaps into place..)

Select the offending text frame, and open the Palette options in the Pages palette. Choose 'Master Pages' > 'Remove Selected Local Overrides'.

This makes the text frame obey the Master again. It does, however, also remove the frame's content and locks it again. You'll have to re-unlock it and re-add the content.

In the Pages palette, drag the icon of a blank master page onto the icon of page you want to fix. This applies the blank master. Everything from the previous master page will disappear, and what will be left on that page will now be live, non-master, non-locked content.

Drag all that content into the pasteboard.

In the Pages palette again, drag the icon of the master page you want onto the icon of your page. This applies your chosen master page.

Copy or drag your content back onto the page as needed. You can unlock the master text frame and copy the content into it, and it should still be controlled by the master page.
