How does a master page work in SharePoint?
Mapping a master page to a site. In SharePoint, a master page defines the shared framing elements such as the chrome for all pages in your site. After a master page is created, it can be mapped to a site. This could be for all publishing pages designated for all users, or for the administrative pages used for site maintenance.
How to add a master page to a site?
In Site Settings for the designated site, under the Look and Feel section, choose Master Page. If the Master Page link is not there, you need to enable the publishing feature with these steps. Navigate to Site Settings | Site Collection Administration | Site Collection Features.
Inherit site master page from parent site Choose this option if you are configuring a child SharePoint site and want to use the parent master page. If you are working on the top-level parent site this option is unavailable.
