| Sep 25, 2014 at 16:44 | comment | added | Scott | Cool. I was aware. I was just thinking of the "backgrounds" which could possibly limit the ability to apply masters on top of masters on top of masters. | |
| Sep 25, 2014 at 16:42 | comment | added | Joonas | I didn't say it would be usable in this case. I just wanted to let you know that it's in fact possible to chain masters. | |
| Sep 25, 2014 at 16:39 | comment | added | Scott | True, it could be handled that way. I'm just not certain it would be less confusing. In addition, the stacking order may be an issue unless you carefully plan what master is applied to what master. Using base masters, then creating additional masters for the combinations results in 25 masters (5 background, 3 header, 1 footer + 15 varying combinations)... I don't know that that's better than just setting up 16 with all the combinations. :) | |

Scott, it's the same feature that allows you to apply one master to another master, that also allows more masters to be added to that chain. Let's say we have 5 masters: Master 1 - Master 5. We make Master 5 the sub master of Master 4. We make Master 4 sub master of Master 3. We make Master 3 sub master of Master 2. We make Master 2 sub master of Master 1. Now Master 1 has 4 sub masters. The rest depends on what content each master has and how it is placed.
