Creating Filter Combinations
You can also create combinations of filters to help your members find exactly what they need. For example, you might create a preset called "Quick and Easy" that combines filters for recipes that take under 30 minutes and are labeled as "Easy" in difficulty.
Define the Combination: Decide which filters you want to combine (e.g., time and difficulty).
Set Up the Preset:
Create a new preset in the appropriate category.
Configure the filter settings to reflect your combination criteria.

You can enable or disable these sections based on your preferences. If all sections are disabled, only the saved-preset chip row will be shown.
