Note Preset Editor
Create and manage note presets in a two-panel app. A preset defines an icon, a color, and the defaults applied when you create a note. Open it from the Manage Presets button in Settings Panel > Notes tab (GM only).
Layout
Section titled “Layout”Left panel: preset list
Section titled “Left panel: preset list”A scrollable list of all presets. The Default preset sorts first; the rest sort alphabetically. Each entry shows:
- Label. The preset name. Click it to select the preset.
- Icon button. A colored icon. Click it to edit the icon and color.
When you hide a built-in preset, a Restore Presets button appears below the list.
Right panel: preset editor
Section titled “Right panel: preset editor”The editor for the selected preset, split into three sections: Content, Schedule, and Settings. These match the note sheet tabs.
Default preset
Section titled “Default preset”A built-in preset that:
- Cannot be deleted. The Delete and Sync to Notes buttons hide when the Default preset is selected.
- Auto-applied. A note without an assigned category uses the Default preset’s defaults.
- Hidden from pickers. The Default preset does not appear in category dropdowns on the note sheet, in note badges, or in filter dropdowns. It acts as a fallback rather than a visible category.
You can edit the Default preset like any other preset. It always stays first in the list.

Player usable flag
Section titled “Player usable flag”When disabled, the preset is hidden from the category dropdown for non-GM players. You always see every preset. Use this to restrict a category to GM-only use while keeping general categories available to players.

A field left unset uses the system default at note creation time.
Sync to notes
Section titled “Sync to notes”The Sync to Notes button in the footer updates every existing note that uses the selected preset to match its current defaults. A confirmation dialog shows the number of affected notes first.

- Schedule dates and conditions
Built-in vs custom presets
Section titled “Built-in vs custom presets”Built-in presets
Section titled “Built-in presets”Every world ships with built-in presets (Birthday, Deadline, Downtime, Lore, Meeting, Quest, Reminder, Session), plus the Default preset. Built-in presets:
- Can be edited (name, icon, color, defaults)

- Store all fields directly, with no seed data to restore
