A connection preset is a ready-made button, section, or popover supplied by a connection module, designed by whoever built the module to give you a working control without assembling actions and feedback from scratch. Dragging a preset onto the canvas can save real setup time, especially for a connection with many similar controls, such as an ATEM's inputs or a lighting fixture's scenes.
Connection presets are unrelated to routing Presets (saved salvos of routes): this page is about button-and-section templates supplied by a connection module.
A connection whose module actually supplies presets. Not every module does, and not every action a module offers has a preset equivalent. If you can't find what you need here, build the control manually from the module's own actions and feedbacks instead.
Each connection's preset view has its own settings, reached from the gear icon under Preset Mode:
Button: drag one preset button at a time onto the canvas.
Section: drag a whole preset section, with all of its buttons, onto the canvas at once.
Popover: drag a preset designed to unfold over other controls, the same way a manually built Popover Section does.
Two further switches shape what gets placed:
Use category as context: apply the preset's category as the placed button's context label.
Preview Feedbacks: preview how a preset's feedback will look before you place it.
There's also a Button Style control to set the visual style presets are placed with.
A section preset wider than the visible panel doesn't hide its extra buttons: it stays reachable in a horizontally-scrolling strip, with a faded edge marking where it's cut off:
Drag the preset you want onto an empty area of the canvas: a Drop presets in the canvas to insert them message confirms you're in the middle of a drag.
If a section preset has more buttons than fit in the visible width, the extra ones stay reachable in a scrolling strip rather than being hidden entirely.
Once placed, edit the result like any other button or section: delete individual buttons you don't need, resize the section, or restyle it.
Placing a section preset creates independent buttons on your canvas: nothing about it stays linked back to the module's own preset definition, so edit freely afterward.
A Button preset dropped on the canvas becomes a normal button you can select, restyle, or delete like any other:
A Popover preset behaves like a manually built Popover Section: pressing it unfolds its buttons over the canvas until it's closed again.
