How to Create a Preset

Optionally, add a description to provide more context.
Use the filter form to set your criteria. Remember, at least one filter must be set.
Click Save to finalize your preset.
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 click a chip to apply that preset.
If any filter is modified after applying a preset, a * badge will appear on the chip, indicating that the preset has been modified.
Order and Active Status
You can manage the order and visibility of your presets:
Reorder: Drag and drop presets to change their order.
Active/Inactive Status: Toggle presets between active and inactive. Inactive presets are hidden from members but remain saved for future use.
Default Presets
When you create a new account, five sample presets are automatically included:
Quick Weeknight Dinners
High Protein
Low Calorie
Low Carb
Meal Prep Friendly
These can be edited or deleted as needed.
Difference from Quick Filter Chips
It's important to note the distinction between saved presets and Quick Filter Chips:
Saved Presets: These are named bundles that can combine multiple filter dimensions at once (e.g., tags, cook time).
Quick Filter Chips: These are simple, single-dimension chips (e.g., Under 400 Cal) found in the Quick Filter Chips tab.
