I am working on a document that I inherited from another designer. Many of the master page items have been overridden. I would like to delete the overridden items and replace them with the original master page elements. I can reapply the master page settings but it doesn’t delete overridden items. I thought there was a setting to do this. Please advise.

How to

I don't see anything there. I'm on ID 2020. I feel like it used to be in the Preferences.

It's a two-part process:

1) Delete the master-overriden debris.

2) Go to the Pages panel, and identify the publication page(s) you want to return to the original baseline. From the Master Pages section of the panel, drag down the icons for the master page(s) you want to apply and place them over the document page(s) you want those elements applied to.

Easy Peasy.

Easy peasy, except that it’s a 700 page document. That’s what I'm doing now. I thought that there was a setting that did both on one step. Thanks anyway.
