If you are familiar with slide masters in Powerpoint, this is a very similar concept. With Lucidchart’s master pages, you can make a header/footer or design a background and apply your formatting to other pages in your document.

Create a master page

  1. On a new page, add items that you would want to include in your master page.
  2. On the page tab, right-click and select Convert to Master. This makes that page a master page.
  3. Create another page, right click the page tab, and select Apply Master.
  4. Select the master page from the dialogue box and apply it to the page.
  5. Whenever you edit the master page, changes will be automatically updated to all other pages where the master is applied.

Move a master page to a new document

  1. Copy (Ctrl+C) and paste (Ctrl+V) the information into a new master page on a new document.
  2. Alternatively, you can make a template with a master page (Convert to Template on your main Documents Page) and then simply build off of the template when you create a new document.
