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

How Presets Appear to Members
Once created, 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 they modify any filter after applying a preset, a * badge will appear on the chip, indicating that the preset has been modified.

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 will be hidden from members but preserved for later use.

These presets 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:
Quick Filter Chips: These are simple, single-dimension filters (e.g., Under 400 Cal) that allow for quick filtering.
Saved Presets: These are named bundles that can combine multiple filter dimensions at once, providing a more comprehensive filtering option for your members.
