I am a novice in indesign and I am trying to modify an existing document. I am trying to dual brand the document, the current logo is already there and exists over a blue box. But when I try to add the second logo, no matter what I do it will not populate on top of the blue box, it always sits behind it. I have figured out my edits need to be made in the parent page, I have tried to send the rectangle back, I have tried to bring the new logo forward, which doesnt appear to be an option, I have locked and unlocked both logos. Need some guidance on what I am missing.

Hi Jessica:

Screen shots help us help you faster, but without seeing what is going on, I'm guessing it's Robert's first suggestion: a layer issue. You can tell when someone else designed a file using layers because the bounding boxes aren't all blue—they pick up the color assigned to the layer.

What is not obvious—even to an experienced InDesign user if they haven't worked with the Layers panel—is that bring to front/send to back only works within a single layer. If you have multiple layers, you will need to manually move them up/down in the Layers panel. Let's start there and if that's not it, come back and let us know.
