Parent/Master Pages Disappeared in InDesign - Help

[Lisa27751371klra]

This is going to drive me NUTS. Where the heck did my master/parent pages go?  There no longer at the top like they usually are. When I click on the dropdown (three bars), the option "Parent Options" is grayed out, so I can't even click on it.  No other option makes sense. How can I get them to come back? I appreciate any ideas, TIA.

Hi @Lisa27751371klra:

Two ideas for you:

• You can hide the parent pages, and if a body page is active, as in your screen shot, parent pages will be grayed out.
  
• If that isn't it, reset preferences.

Thank you, @Barb Binder . Do you happen to have instructions for InDesign 2024? Nothing looks the same on my computer afer the part of "Reset Preferences on Quit." Much appreciated!

Actually - never mind! Your first part actually worked for me!  WHEW! This is awesome and you're awesome. Thank you so much, @Barb Binder !
