Snippets
To remove navigation via master page without deleting anything (used for displaying a PerfPoint dashboard on a public screen for a call centre: First two get rid of page header, leaving top bar and site actions button. Third removes left panel but keeps whitespace.
<style>
#s4-topheader2 { display: none; }
#s4-titlerow {display: none;}
#s4-leftpanel {display:none; }
</style>
Attach stylesheet when including own adjustments to master pages for publ. Path should be /managedpath (e.g. sites)/sitecollectionroot (e.g. KM)/Style%20Library/… (wherever you put the stylesheet). Root site collection in web app will start with /Style%20Library. Place at end of head.
For team site templates, to get Master Page in Site Settings, first activate the Publishing feature. Will need to apply to System Master page for changes to be visible.
