Style Once, Reuse Everywhere
A preset is a named collection of style properties — typography, colors, spacing, borders, effects — that you can save from any block and apply to any other block in one click.
Style your block
Configure any combination of style properties on a block — font, color, background, padding, border, shadow, and more.
Save as a preset
Click "Save as preset" in the Styles panel, give it a name, and choose which properties to include.
Apply anywhere
Select any other block, open the presets picker, and apply your saved preset in one click.
Update globally
Edit a preset and all blocks using it via inheritance update automatically — keeping your whole card in sync.
Set It Once at the Top, Cascade Down
Assign a preset to a container block and all its children inherit the styling automatically. Override at any level without breaking the parent.
Container-level presets
Apply a preset to a container or the card root and every nested block picks it up without manual configuration.
Per-block overrides
Any individual block can override specific properties from its inherited preset while keeping the rest intact.
Live cascade updates
Update the parent preset and all descendant blocks that inherit from it refresh instantly on the canvas.
Conflict resolution
Block-level styles always take precedence over inherited preset values, giving you fine-grained control at every level.
Organize Your Design Library
All your presets are stored per card and accessible from the Styles panel at any time. Edit, duplicate, rename, or delete presets as your design evolves.
Card-scoped library
Presets belong to the card they were created in. Your library grows naturally as you design more complex cards.
Edit in place
Open any preset to modify its included properties. Changes propagate immediately to all blocks using it via inheritance.
Duplicate & derive
Duplicate an existing preset as a starting point for a new variation — great for creating dark/light or active/inactive style pairs.
Instant preview
Hover over a preset in the picker to preview how it would look on the selected block before applying it.
