    If you go to the Properties Tab you will see a field "Based on" which tells you what is the parent skin. I think  what you want to do is hit Use Default button under Page Head Bottom - that should delete the one you have in this particular skin and use the parent's instead.

There is content within the Page Head Bottom area, but updating it from our main skin does not update the secondary skin. All of the other wrapper components I mentioned have the note "This component does not exist in this skin, it is being inherited" whereas Page Head Bottom does not state this.

    That probably means that your child skin has a "Page Header Bottom" set and is blocking the inheritance. In Studio, do you have anything in Page Header Bottom?

      Yes, the child skin has content in Page Head Bottom. If I remove the content, will it inherit the content from the parent skin? How does it even know which is the parent skin? We have 6 skins under "custom skins" right now in Studio.

       

      Thank you!
