Changing the site master pages in SharePoint Designer
In addition to creating and editing master pages, SharePoint Designer allows us to configure the master pages used by the SharePoint site. Each site has two assigned master pages, the Site Master Page and the System Master Page. The Site Master Page is used when displaying content pages, such as publishing pages, whereas the System Master Page is used when displaying administrative pages, such as the Site settings page.
This is the only method available to set the master page settings if the SharePoint publishing features are not activated on the SharePoint site or access to PowerShell on the SharePoint servers is not available.
