Prerequisites

Please use this article only if all prerequisites are true.



Step 1. Download a copy of seattle.master master page

Highlight the seattle.master file and press Check Out on the top (Files tab should be open in the Ribbon):



After the page is refreshed, highlight the seattle.master file again, and click the down-pointing arrow next to it. Choose Download from the drop-down list:



Step 2. Insert Preloader code


Start with the ShortPoint Preloader code copied (part 1 of our how to Add a Preloader to SharePoint Classic Sites  explains where to get it).
