[scribus] Editing an existing document (ShapeOko build instructions) --- adding graphics to a master page not showing?

[William Adams]

Okay, I am:

 - working on the instructions for an opensource milling machine downloaded from Github
 - have had to split the cover off as a separate file, since I couldn't get the cover page numbered as ``A'' in the exported .pdf despite finding File | Document Setup | Sections and setting the first page to be ``A''
 - have been coping w/ interface limitations
 - tried to place a graphic on _all_ the pages by:

 - making a new layer
 - moving it to the top
 - editing the Master Page ``Normal'' and pasting in the desired graphic and putting it on the new, top-most layer
 - applying the Master Page to all pages

The graphic isn't showing up on top of the existing content --- why not?
