Hey guys, I am new in Fireworks and lately I've struggling a lot with the Master Page option.
Please help me out.
Now, I have a document with one master layer which has following options on the left.
I have made three new layers, but the part with all this info, is locked in each layer !
How am I supposed to edit this part.
Because I want to highlight -
01. Battery on Page 1
02. Calendar on Page 2
03. Call on page 3 etc.
How to do this ?
One way I see is copy pasting the elements on each layer and then manually edit each page and layer.
But if I have the master page and all the required info on each page, then I should be able to edit it as well ?
Please reply, I am stuck...

Hello!
You actually have the right approach. Think of your Master Page as the equivalent to a template on a website: the content in the LOCKED portion of the template can only be modified on the Master Page, and the open/editable areas live on the subsequent pages.
So according to your illustration, you want the locked area (red) to live in the Master Page [template], and the page contents (Battery, Calendar, Call, etc.) to live in the unlocked area (green):
Simply go to your Page 2, Page 3, Page 4, etc. (by the way, you can rename Page 2 to Battery, Page 3 to Calendar, etc., by double-clicking on the name in the Pages panel). Any content you want to add to those pages should be inserted in the Layer 1 (or any new layers you create) on those pages (not the Master Page).
