As you know we can create a page in sharepoint site in browser in "Site Actions" using "create a new page". And by using Sharepoint designer as ".aspx" and ".html" pages.
I have created a publishing site in a site collection and created a page in it using "site actions". This page is not reflected in sharepoint designer. Should I have to publish and approve it?
Then, If I create a page using sharepoint designer, It does not have master page attached to it. How can I attach a master page to a newly created page in sharepoint designer? If it is created using "Site Actions" the master page is already attached to it.

Did you check for the page created by site actions under site pages library in designer?– Taran GoelJun 26, 2015 at 5:25

Yeah, The pages are in "All Files/Page".– Sarath VargheseJun 26, 2015 at 7:20

One more doubt, If there is any problem if I create page using "Page From Master" in master pages in navigation in Sharepoint designer or create a Webpart page or ".aspx" page in sharepoint designer or using "site Actions"and attach a master page as suggested in this answer. I need a page for displaying div's containing links. Which way should I create this page? which one has less limitations?– Sarath VargheseJun 26, 2015 at 7:35

If your site is a publishing portal then all pages will be created in library called pages.
1. Page created from site actions not seen in designer.
Once you create your page from site actions do following to check for a page in designer
- Open your publishing site in Designer and click on
All Filestab from left menu. - Now from the listed menu options, you will notice there will be a
Pagesoptions. That's where all pages live - Click on
Pagesto open and find your newly created page - If you are unable to find the page, then try to
refreshdesigner and check again.
2. Page created from designer not attached to master page.
Open the page (which is created from designer) in advanced mode
On ribbon control, find
STYLEtab and open it.You will notice, that the first option available is
AttachClick on
Attachto drop open available master pages and select your desired one.
refer below screen shot for attaching a master page.

As you are using a publishing site, you should create a webpart page in Pages library. This way the master page will be attached to it and it will also get reflected in the designer.
you can also add the below code in the page to link it with the default master page of the site
<%@ Page language="C#" MasterPageFile="~masterurl/default.master" Inherits="Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WebPartPage,Microsoft.SharePoint,Version=15.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" meta:webpartpageexpansion="full" meta:progid="SharePoint.WebPartPage.Document" %>
Here MasterPageFile="~masterurl/default.master" is the link to the default master page of site.
Edit page in Advance Mode:
