A Quick Overview of Global Presets

The beauty of Divi is that it gives you full control over the design of your website using a wide range of design settings that you can use to customize the appearance of any element or module.

The new Divi Presets system allows you to design a custom appearance for a Divi element (like a button module) and save it as a preset. All of the design changes you make are saved in the preset. When you add a new module to your page, you can browse your saved presets and quickly apply them.

Once a preset has been applied, the module’s default design is controlled by the preset. If you update the style of a preset, all modules using that preset are updated as well. This allows you to control the design of your entire website using a small collection of saved presets. Plus, it saves tons of time when adding new modules to your page, since you don’t need to design each new module from scratch but instead can quickly select an appearance from your Divi Presets library.

When to Use a Global Presets Style Guide

Preferably, you’ll start using a global presets style guide before building your pages, templates, etc. The reason behind that is that you’ll be able to immediately access your global presets while building your designs, instead of having to go back to your design, reset inline styles on an element level and apply a global preset.

Starting your Divi build process after you’ve created a style guide helps you avoid having to manually make changes to modules inside their individual settings. If you’re working with global presets from the beginning, you’ll be able to modify them in one place and watch the changes unfold across your entire website at once.

If you’re looking to create your own global presets style guide from scratch, as opposed to using one that is based on a layout pack, check out the style guide framework download post.

Option A: Automatically Uploading All Global Presets at Once

This approach will automatically add all presets to your preset library at once.

Go to Divi Library

Go to your Divi Library in the backend of your WordPress website.

Repeat these steps for each preset you want to create.

Exception: Nested Modules (Social Media Follow Module)

Tip: Keep Style Guide in Separate Tab to Copy/Paste Specific Styles (Gradients/Box Shadow/Border/…)

Last but not least, it’s a great idea to always keep the style guide in a separate tab. Using Divi’s built-in and cross-page copy-paste option will help you quickly transfer styles, like gradient backgrounds, from one element to another!
