Accidentally applied master page over everything

Question

Hello all. I am an InDesign novice, but it's required for my job. I am learning as I go.

I am about 20 pages into a proposal and I accidentally applied a master page over every existing page. I don't know when I did it, as I didn't realize until I went back to change information on a previous page. I can't "undo" as it may have been a while ago and I closed and saved since then. Is there a way to remove this? I tried to remove master items but it's also removing valuable pieces of information. I'm including an example, although there is sensitive information on every page so I have to crop it pretty tight. Any help would be incredible.

As much as I agree with that, and trust me I plan on doing a lot of learning, this proposal I am working on is due tomorrow and it was given to me as an assignment. I'm just trying to undo the mistake I made.

Simple fix.

Go to your pages panel and select the affected pages.

Then use the pages drop down to Apply Master to Pages.

Either select the original master page or [None] to remove.

you need to create a new master page, add the components you need on it and apply that master page to the range of pages you need.here:Creating and Applying Master Pages in Adobe InDesign - YouTube
