Most of time we don’t prefer to use conventional user interface provided by SharePoint when we configure it. We want our separate identity when we try to publish our site on base of SharePoint framework.

When you try to find out Changing of master page in your SharePoint, you may not get that options in your Site Settings, first you need to do is to Enable “SharePoint Server Publishing Features”.

To enable above features follow below steps..

Go to Site SettingsàSite Collection Administration à Site Collection Features à Activate SharePoint Server Publishing Features.

Now you may able to see Master pages menu in the Site setting under Look and Feel depends on the version you have installed on your machine.

Alternatively you can directly go to change master page with _layouts/ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx , just add below url with your site and you will be redirected to change master page for your site.
