They've been conceived to be created once and reuse forever being possible to generate infinite variations over the same piece.

The preset is encoded on the URL as `preset` query parameter. Every preset becomes a [query variables](/docs/cards/getting-started/query-variables) that defines all the data can be used.

All the presets are living in our [repository on GitHub](https://github.com/microlinkhq/cards/tree/master/src/components/presets). Make us a Pull Request for adding your preset!
