Node Presets allow you to save a specific configuration of a node’s parameters and reuse it later. This is useful for quickly applying common styles or settings without having to manually adjust each parameter every time.
Presets are saved locally in your browser and are specific to each node type (e.g., presets for a Circle node will not appear for a Text node).
Managing Presets
You can access the presets menu by clicking the icon in the header of the Parameters Panel when a node is selected.
Applying a Preset
To apply a saved preset, simply click on its name in the dropdown menu. The parameters of the currently selected node will be updated instantly with the values from the preset.
Saving a Preset
- Adjust the node’s parameters to your desired configuration.
- Click the icon and select “Save Node Preset…”.
- In the dialog that appears, enter a unique name for your preset and click “Save”.
If you enter a name that already exists, you will be asked to confirm if you want to overwrite the existing preset with the new values.
Renaming & Deleting Presets
To rename or delete a preset, open the presets menu and hover over the preset you wish to modify. The rename () and delete () icons will appear on the right. Click the appropriate icon and follow the prompts.
A confirmation dialog will appear before deleting to prevent accidents. This action cannot be undone.
Permanent Defaults
In addition to saved presets, you can also override the default settings for any node type. This is useful if you find yourself always changing the same parameters every time you create a new node (e.g., always wanting a Circle to have a stroke by default).
Saving a Permanent Default
- Configure a node exactly how you want your new default to be.
- Open the presets menu and select “Save as permanent default”.
From now on, any new node of this type that you create will start with these settings.
Reverting to App Defaults
If you have a permanent default saved for a node type, a new menu option will appear: “Revert to app defaults”.
Clicking this will do two things:
- It will immediately reset the parameters of the currently selected node back to the original application defaults.
- It will delete your custom permanent default, so any future nodes will also use the original application defaults.
