enter image description here

now i wanted to create a new custom master page for my site collections, so i follow these steps which i use to follow in SP 2013:-

  1. i download a copy from seatle.master

  2. rename the copy to ARQ.master.

  3. Uplaod the new ARQ.master master page.

  4. i defined the UI version to be 16, as follow:- enter image description here

  5. publish the new master page.

  6. then from SP designer i try to set the new master page as defualt and as custom master page, where i got this warning message and i click ok:- enter image description here

  7. now i can not notice any update to the UI fro my site collection pages and interfaces, and even when i access "site settings >> master Page" i can not find the new master page :-

enter image description here

SharePoint 2016 uses the UI Version 15, not 16.

    This answer is also correct for SharePoint 2016. Use UI Version 15.
