# Presets

> Public channel — documentation of app 3.6.3. Follow the availability notices of each service.

Source: [Presets](/en/application/agents/prereglages/)

A preset saves a team of agents, the way their panes are arranged on screen and, for a Terminal pane, the command to run at startup. You can then relaunch it in one click, on this project or on another. The subtitle of the page sums it up: “Create reusable agent configurations for your projects.” A preset can also be pinned to the project bar: its icon then launches it in one click, in a new tab.

A preset contains neither your project nor your conversations: it only describes the makeup of the team.

## Before you start

-   Know which agents you want to work together. See [VibeStarter AI agents](/en/application/agents/).
-   Have an idea of how the tasks are split: two agents on the same subject get in each other’s way and use up your quota twice.

## Create a preset

1.  Open the Presets page, then New Preset.
2.  Give it a name in the “Preset name…” field.
3.  Add the agents that make it up: one button per agent (Claude Code, Codex, Terminal…) adds a pane, numbered “#1,” “#2,” and so on.
4.  Arrange the layout of the panes, then click Save (Update for an existing preset).

## Arrange the layout

The layout is set with the mouse, by dragging a pane by its header. The help shown on screen says so: “Drag the panes to rearrange them.”

A reading tip: keep on screen the agent you watch the most, and put the others in a row below. You can always enlarge a pane with Ctrl + B, then the zoom key.

## The startup command

A **Terminal** pane has a “startup command” field, preceded by `$`. The app says when it is used: it “Runs on launch,” in that terminal. AI agent panes do not have this field: their instruction is written in their pane, once launched.

## Launch one or more presets

From a project’s workspace, the app offers “Select presets for your tabs.” There are two ways to proceed:

-   Launch this preset now opens a tab and starts its team.
-   Add to launch queue stacks several presets, then the Launch button, followed by the number of tabs, opens them all at once.

Below the list, the “Launch without a preset” section lets you put together a team by hand for this time only: “This configuration won’t be saved as a preset.” To keep a team, create it from the Presets page.

## Limits

-   **A preset does not remember conversations.** To pick up work in progress, use a pause instead. See [Pause and resume a session](/en/application/agents/pause-et-reprise/).
-   **It does not reserve memory.** A preset of eight agents on a machine that is just enough for memory will trigger the automatic queuing.
-   **It does not get around the Studio queue.** Only one agent drives a place at a time, whatever the number of panes open.

## Frequently asked questions

**“The page says ‘Presets could not be loaded.’”** Your presets could not be read. They are still intact: the app saves nothing until it has read them again. Click Retry. Just after the app starts, the page shows “Loading…” while the environment starts up.

**“Is a preset tied to a project?”** No. You reuse it on any project.

**“How many agents should a preset contain?”** As many as your machine can support, and above all as many distinct tasks as you have to hand out. See [Launch and drive your agents](/en/application/agents/lancer-et-piloter/).

**“Can I mix different agents?”** Yes. A team can combine Claude Code, Codex, and a Terminal in the same tab.
