What Are Presets?

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.

1

Style your block

Configure any combination of style properties on a block — font, color, background, padding, border, shadow, and more.

2

Save as a preset

Click "Save as preset" in the Styles panel, give it a name, and choose which properties to include.

3

Apply anywhere

Select any other block, open the presets picker, and apply your saved preset in one click.

4

Update globally

Edit a preset and all blocks using it via inheritance update automatically — keeping your whole card in sync.

Preset Inheritance

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.

Preset Management

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.
