    Change bars are applied automatically (when enabled) only to the actual line inwhich a change has occurred in he flow of the conteent, i.e. on a Body page.

    If you need to make a change bar in the location that you state (on a Master page), create a new custom Master page(s) based upon the Right/Left ones and simply draw a change bar where you want it.

    To apply the Master page to pages that have changes (all of this will have to be manual unless you write a custom script) either:

    • apply these custom Master pages using the Format > Page Layout > Master Page Usage option or
    • create a new paratag that uses no line-spacing and add it to all pages with change bars, then use the Master page mapping option to apply the custom master pages o these pages (Note: adding or removing content may affect where the change bar pargraph falls and may put things out of sync)
