If you want to save time when creating Collections, particularly when you have specific settings you use regularly; Pixieset offers the option to create templates, saved as ‘presets’ via our Presets feature. This allows you to save your preferences across the different Collection settings including Design, Privacy, Download, Favorite, and Store. Once you’ve created a Preset, you quickly apply your preferred Collection settings as a template when creating a new collection.
