Freeway Reference: Working with Pages

Another method is to select a page (or selection of pages) and click on the Minus

button in the bottom left of the Freeway interface window (on Freeway’s Footer

Bar). All methods will display an alert asking if you are sure you want to delete the

page(s)—click OK to proceed.

Making a Site Page into a Master page

There may be times when you build a site page in Freeway and then you want to make that page into a Master page. To do this, select

the page in the Site Panel list and go to Page>Make Master… (see screenshot below left). You will be prompted to give the new

Master page a name before you can click OK to close the New Master Page dialog.

Another method is to click and drag a Site page into the Master page section of the Site Panel (see screenshot below right). When you

release the mouse button, you will be prompted to name the new Master page.

Applying Color Labels to Master pages

Some people like to colorize the pages in the Site Panel list to make them easy to identify

when using a particular workflow. Freeway lets you colorize the name of a page using Apple’s

Color Labels.

To colorize a page, Control-click (or right-click with a multi-button mouse) on the page

you want to colorize, then choose the color from the Color Labels at the bottom of the

contextual menu. See the screenshot (right).

To remove a color applied to a page, Control-click (or right-click) on the page and click on

the “X” in the Color Label list at the bottom of the contextual menu.

Using Master pages/items with some options unchecked

and others checked

Because there are four different Use Master… options (unlike in desktop publishing

applications which have only one type) it is possible to mix and match the different Master

settings so that one or more Use Master… options are unchecked in the Inspector.

For example, it is possible to use “placeholder” items on your Master page (which have no

content) and then add unique content to those items on the individual Site page. Doing so will uncheck the Use Master Content option

in the Inspector, but the Use Master Settings will remain checked. This will mean that the content Master link has been broken (so

editing the content on the Master page will have no effect on the content of the Master item on the Site page) but any changes made to

settings of the Master item on the Master page will still take effect on the item on the Site page (such as changing its position, editing

the background color, etc.

It is important to note, however, that checking any unchecked Use Master… options in the Inspector will make the item revert back to

the settings, content, etc., used by the page/Master item on the Master page.

Like with many things in Freeway, how you choose to work is up to you—some people find this way of working as a time-saving

feature, whereas others consider it confusing. It’s up to you to decide how you prefer to work.
