Overview of Saved Filter Presets
Saved filter presets are named bundles of filter criteria that you can create to help your members easily find recipes. For example, a preset named "Quick Weeknight Dinners" might include filters for easy difficulty, a cook time of 30 minutes or less, and a prep time of 30 minutes or less. Members can apply these presets with a single click from the advanced recipe filter panel.

How It Appears to Members
Once created, your saved presets will appear as a horizontal row of chip buttons above the accordion filters in the advanced recipe filter panel. Members can easily apply a preset by clicking on the corresponding chip. If they modify any filter after applying a preset, a * badge will appear on the chip, indicating that the preset has been modified.

Difference from Quick Filter Chips
It's important to distinguish between saved presets and quick filter chips:
Saved Presets: Named bundles of multiple filter criteria that can combine various dimensions (e.g., difficulty, cook time, nutrition).
Quick Filter Chips: Simple, single-dimension chips (e.g., Under 400 Calories) that apply one filter at a time.
