The Page deck of the Writer sidebar (including Format, Styles, Header and Footer sections today) is missing in the sidebar of Writer master documents. As Writer master documents are only Writer documents that contain another Writer documents, there should be no difference between both when using the same features. (LibO help citation: "A master document lets you manage large documents, such as a book with many chapters. The master document can be seen as a container for individual LibreOffice Writer files.")
