# Use a connection's presets

> Find the ready-made buttons, sections and popovers a connection module supplies and drag them onto a position canvas.

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. Before you begin A position open for editing. 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. Find a connection's presets Open the position editor. Select the Presets tab in the sidebar (distinct from the Routing tab, which holds routing Presets and salvos). Search or select a connection from the list. If a connection has no presets, the panel shows No Presets : try a different connection or build the control manually. Selecting a connection opens its preset groups, such as an ATEM's Program and Preview buses and its Transitions controls: Choose how presets should be placed 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 group onto the canvas at once. Its buttons are placed inside a new Section , named after the group, one row high and up to 16 buttons wide, with vertical scrolling turned on. Move, resize and restyle it like any other section. 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: Place and adjust a preset Search the connection's presets if it has many. 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 a normal Section with independent buttons inside it. To add more buttons or nested sections to it, adjust its scrolling, or protect it with a code, see Organize controls in a section . 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. If you get stuck What you see What to try A connection you expect to have presets shows No Presets . Not every module supplies presets. Build the control manually from that connection's actions and feedbacks instead. You can't find a specific preset among many. Use the search box inside the connection's preset view: it searches both preset names and their contents. A dropped section preset has buttons you don't need. Select and delete the specific buttons you don't want; be careful to select individual buttons rather than the whole section. Where to go next Create your first button , for building a control manually when no preset fits. Organize controls in a section , for working with the Section a section preset creates. Add a Popover Section , for the manually built equivalent of a Popover preset. Add controls and sections to a position , for every element type you can place.
