Divi Preset Elements That Help You Build Websites Easily and Maintain Global Consistency
What Are Divi Presets (and Why They Matter)
A preset is a saved collection of design settings (colors, fonts, spacing, borders, effects, responsive rules, etc.) for a specific Divi element type (e.g., Button module, Text module, a Row, or a Section).
Why this is powerful
- Save time: No more re-applying colors, fonts, and padding on every page.
- Brand consistency: Buttons, headings, cards all look identical everywhere.
- Global updates: Change one preset → the entire site follows.
Step-by-Step: Create a Divi Preset
Tip: Do this early in a project. Define your “design system” (buttons, headings, cards) and turn them into presets before you build pages.
Step 1: Style any module
Open the Visual Builder, add (or edit) a module—e.g., Button or Text—and apply your desired design (colors, fonts, spacing, borders, hover effects, responsive tweaks).
Step 2: Open the Preset menu
At the top of the module settings, click the Preset dropdown (it usually says Default if none is applied).
Step 3: Create a preset from current styles
Choose Create New Preset From Current Styles. Name it clearly (e.g., Primary Button – Solid, H2 – Dark). Save.
Step 4: Apply your preset anywhere
Add the same module type elsewhere → open settings → Preset dropdown → select your preset. The module instantly adopts those styles.
Optional: Make it the default for that module type
In the Preset list, set your preset as Default so all new modules of that type inherit it automatically.
How to Edit & Update Presets (Site-Wide Changes)
- Edit a preset: Open any module that uses it → Preset dropdown → hover the preset → click Edit (pencil icon). Adjust styles and save; every element using it updates site-wide.
- Update preset from a tweaked module: If you changed just one instance and want those edits to become the new preset, use Update Preset With Current Styles (Divi will warn you it’s a global change).
Pro Tips for Speed & Consistency
- Create core presets first: Buttons (Primary/Secondary), Text/Headings (H1–H6), Cards/Blurbs, CTAs, Forms.
- Name presets clearly: e.g.,
Button / Primary / SolidorHeading / H2 / Dark. - Don’t over-create: Too many presets cause confusion. Keep it lean.
- Use defaults smartly: Set a base Default preset, then override only when necessary.
- Bulk apply: Use multi-select or bulk editing to apply a preset to many modules in one go.
- Document your system: Keep a quick style guide for teammates: preset names, when to use them, and examples.
When to Use Presets
Use presets when:
- You repeat layouts or modules across many pages
- You want strict brand/visual consistency
- You expect future design updates and want easy global changes
