Set Elements/Groups as repeating Header/Footer on all Pages

See original GitHub issue

Currently there seems to be no way to set a certain element or a set of elements as a header or footer that repeats on each page within a sheet. Furthermore it would be great if you could include some markers in the text, such as [PAGE] or [NUM_PAGES] which get replaced during PDF rendering or printing with the actual page number etc. On the following pages within drawio there could be a representation of the header footer in a lower opacity so you always know that an element would be overlayed by header/footer if placed in this area.

With such a feature you would be able to have a logo repeating on each page and give the pages proper numbering. This would help a lot especially when using big drawio sheets to visualise complex matters and having meetings discussing them, as you could always refer to the page number when sharing the graphics via PDF.

This feature request I think is somehow similar to #60 although this one is more focused on the specific header and footer elements and not having repeating elements in general. Anyhow probably those two features could be implemented with the same functionality.

Thank you very much for consideration!

What about using a background page with page as a placeholder?

Looking for a feature to freeze some pixels as header or footer (both row-wise and column-wise) on a diagram. This way, esp large diagrams like swim-lanes or sequence diagrams, will show some elements of the diagram at the top (or left as the case may be) though we zoom in or navigate the diagram while presenting.
