Presets

The Presets Preferences pane contains presets for both project settings and export
settings. In this pane, you can choose defaults, as well as create, modify, and delete
settings. The default project preset determines the settings assigned when you create a
new project. You can change any of these settings while you are working by opening
the Project Properties window (choose Edit > Project Properties or press Command-J).

Show: This pop-up menu lets you choose between modifying presets for new projects
or modifying presets for exporting.

Preset list: Below the Show menu, the current list of presets appears. The checkbox to
the left of each name identifies the default preset. Check a different box to select a new
preset. The column on the right shows which presets are locked. Locked presets cannot
be modified. You can duplicate a locked preset and edit the copy.

Summary box: To the right of the Preset list, the Summary box displays details of the
currently selected preset.

Create new documents using default: When this checkbox is turned on, creating a
new project automatically uses the default project preset. When this checkbox is
turned off, creating a new project displays the Select Project Preset dialog so you can
choose a preset for the new project.

Add New Preset: Click the Add button (+) to display the Project Preset Editor dialog
and create a new preset.

Remove Preset: To remove a preset, select the preset you want to remove and click
the Delete button (–).

Duplicate: To duplicate a preset, select the preset you want to duplicate, then click
Duplicate.
