How do I make a test copy of my bracket preset?

Short answer: open Manage Presets, pick your preset and click Duplicate. The copy is a separate preset. Changes you make to it don't touch your live one, and you can archive it when you're done.

Make a test copy

  1. Open a job, click Brackets, then Manage Presets
  2. Pick your preset in the Bracket preset box
  3. Click Duplicate, name the copy, click Create copy

Make the copy

Step
1 Open any job and click Brackets. Click Manage Presets (1) at the top right
2 In the Bracket preset box, pick the preset your team uses
3 Click Duplicate (1)

The top right of the Brackets screen with Manage Presets marked 1, beside Shed Versions and Bracket Versions

The top of Manage Presets: the Bracket preset box showing My Brackets TEST, the reload arrow, Version 1, and the History, Edit, Rename, Archive and Duplicate buttons, with Duplicate marked 1

In the Duplicate preset window, give the copy a name your team will know is a test (1), for example your preset's name followed by TEST. If you see Save it to (2), leave it on This company. Click Create copy (3).

Duplicate preset window: Preset name My Brackets TEST marked 1, Save it to This company marked 2, and Create copy marked 3

The copy opens straight away. Check the Bracket preset box shows the new name before you click Edit.

Your team can see the copy. It's offered at Convert Shed as soon as it's made. A clear TEST name stops anyone converting a real job with it.

Presets with a blue Shedmate badge are maintained by us, so they can't be changed. Duplicate one the same way to start your own.

When you're finished: archive the test copy

Pick the test copy in the Bracket preset box and click Archive, then Archive again to confirm (1). It's no longer offered when converting a shed. Nothing is deleted.
