# Header and footer presets

A **preset** is a header or footer design saved once and reused across layouts. Change the preset and every layout using it updates - so a new logo or a changed address is one edit, not twenty.

Find them under **Header & Footer** in the app navigation.

## Creating a preset

The page has two sections, **Headers** and **Footers**, each with an **Add header** / **Add footer** button. Give the preset a name, design it, and save.

## Header options

Pick a layout first:

| Layout | What it shows |
| --- | --- |
| **Logo only** | Just your logo |
| **Logo + Text** | Logo with a tagline or description underneath |
| **Logo + Text + Links** | Full header with navigation links |

Then configure the parts:

- **Logo** - show or hide it, choose the image, set alt text, pick a size (Small 80px, Medium 150px, Large 220px, Extra Large 300px) and alignment.
- **Text** - a tagline or short description. Supports `{{ secrets.xxx }}` and `{{ variables.xxx }}`.
- **Navigation Links** - each with a label and a URL.
- **Direction** - stack the elements vertically, or lay them out side by side.

## Footer options

| Layout | What it shows |
| --- | --- |
| **Minimal** | Copyright and unsubscribe only |
| **Full** | Social links, custom text, copyright and unsubscribe |

- **Social Links** - Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, Snapchat, Tumblr, Twitch, Vimeo, Email and Website.
- **Custom Text** - company details, legal text, anything you must include. Supports variables and secrets.
- **Legal** - show or hide the copyright line.
- **Direction and Alignment** - vertical or horizontal, left / center / right.

> [!TIP]
> Put your business address and legal identifiers in the footer's custom text. Most jurisdictions require them on commercial email, and a preset means you cannot forget it on a new layout.

## Using a preset in a layout

Open a layout in the visual builder and click the header or footer region on the canvas. The **Saved preset** dropdown lists your presets plus **Custom (this layout only)**.

Choose a preset when the design should stay in sync with your other emails. Choose **Custom** when this one email genuinely needs something different - a one-off campaign header, say.

## Deleting a preset

If a preset is in use, the app blocks the delete and tells you exactly which layouts depend on it:

> Used by 3 template(s): Order confirmation, VIP welcome, Shipping update. Remove it from those templates first.

Switch those layouts to another preset or to **Custom** first, then delete.
