How do I save a layout as a preset?
Presets let you save a design screen layout so you can reuse it later.
This is useful when you create a layout you like and want to use the same structure again without rebuilding it from scratch.
For example, you might save a preset for a design screen with a specific title position, device placement, image layout, shape arrangement or decorative style.
What does Save as Preset do?
Save as Preset saves the layout for the selected design screen.
It saves that one design screen as a reusable preset. It does not save the entire project.
After saving a preset, you can use Pick a Preset to apply that layout elsewhere.
When should I save a layout as a preset?
Save a layout as a preset when you want to reuse the same design structure again.
For example, you might save a preset when you have created:
a custom title and device layout
a design screen with shapes or decorative elements
a layout you want to use across other projects
a screen structure that works well for a specific app store format
a design you want to use as your own template
Presets are helpful when you want consistency across projects or want to speed up future design work.
