Site Master vs. System Master

Change the master page for a site collection/subsite.

Publishing features much be turned on to see Master Page settings under Look and Feel. Once turned on you can change your master page.

Site Master: The site master page will be used by all publishing pages. (That’s great for the Internet and Intranet publishing site, but not for many of the subsites)

System Master: Use the system master page for all forms and view pages in this site. (let me amend this with these are all the site templates and pages that the site master does not apply to, including team sites, document workspaces, web part pages, and all non publishing pages.
