Preset Libraries

Preset Libraries contain user created data and persist between sessions. They are integrated into the Color Picker, Gradient Editor and Curve Editors.

• A preset is e.g a color, gradient or an animation curve that is saved by the user.
• A preset library is a collection of presets saved into one file.
• Preset libraries contain personal data or project data. They can be saved either in the user preferences folder or in a 'Editor' folder in the Assets folder. Project preset libraries can then be added to revision control for easy sharing between users on a project and added to Asset Store packages.

How to create a color preset:

1. Click on a color field. E.g select Main Camera in the Hierarchy, then click on Background Color
2. Adjust a color to your liking
3. At the bottom you will find the Presets section
4. Simply click the button to add the current color to the current preset library

• The context menu (the icon with the three lines)
  • You can switch view mode between List Mode and Grid Mode in the context menu (the three lines icon)
  • Select between available preset libraries
  • Create new library
    • In the Create New Library popup you can select whether to create a preset library in the Preferences folder or the Project folder
  • Show current library in the OS file explorer/finder
• Presets can be reordered by dragging
• Presets can be deleted by Alt + Left mouse button or by the right click menu

Selecting a preset library in the project browser will show its contents in the inspector. From here "Edit.." can be clicked to modify.
