A section preset is a preconfigured set of Section widgets and other widgets. Presets are small page chunks, wrapped in a Section widgets, that can be reused across multiple Next.js pages.
Section presets are useful when several pages are designed to contain the same group of widgets. With presets, it is no longer required to recreate the widgets on every single page.
PREREQUISITES: To create and use section presets, you must use Next.js pages.
You create a section preset once, while ensuring you wrap the widget group in a Section widget. Then you can create the preset that you can reuse.
Once you apply a preset to a page, it will be rendered as a Section widget, containing the group of the underlying child widgets. All widget settings, which you have configured when creating the preset, are preserved.
The difference between a widget preset and a page template is that widget presets are reusable templates for just a section of the page, while a page template applies to the entire page. Hence, a widget preset can be viewed as a partial template.
