Hi,

I’ll put the frames in Master page and apply to all pages.
The frames are now “Locked” in all spreads.
If you want to edit all the frames in all spreads you just do this in Master page.

To edit just a specific frame just hold down Ctrl+Shift and edit.
Don’t know why but when you edit a single frame in a spread it becomes “open”.
That’s why I keep the frames in their own layer and lock.

Hope this will make it a bit easier.
