FYI I am having an issue with SP designer 2013 with SP 2013 hosted.

I've followed all of the suggestion I've read to date:

• All of the options in Central Admin's _admin/SharePointDesignerAdmin.aspx page are checked
• All of the options in the Site Collection's _layouts/15/SharePointDesignerSettings.aspx page are checked
• I am a site owner with full control of the site

In SP Designer 2013, the master page appears by the HTML.  The page is set as the custom Master Page.  I can open the file in advanced edit mode, but cannot save the file.

Do anyone have any additional ideas?

Hi SB Feldman,

I understand that you want to edit master page in SharePoint 2013. What error message do you get when you try to save the master page?

You can go to the master page gallery and download a copy of this file. Open it in any editor like SharePoint designer or Visual studio or note pad. In SharePoint 2013, there is a new feature called Design Manager. You can use Design Manager to convert HTML file to master page, then use the master page in your site.

For more information, please refer to these sites:
