# Change SRS settings and reuse presets

Each SRS set has its own settings. A preset lets you copy a configuration into another set without entering every value again.

For the global **Review Ahead Limit** and **Next Day Starts At** controls, use [Review settings](https://docs.flashnerd.com/guide/srs/review-settings.md).

## Change one set

1. Open **SRS** and select the set.
2. Tap the gear button to open **SRS Set Settings**.
3. Choose a settings section from the table below.
4. Make the change and tap **Save Change**.
5. Check the success message before returning to the set.

| Section                             | Use it for                                                                    |
| ----------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Daily Limits**                    | Review, new-card, and suspended-card allowances, including weekday schedules. |
| **Display Order**                   | Card-category priorities and new-card selection across decks.                 |
| **Card Display & Struggle Control** | Tags, state badges, and Struggle/recovery thresholds.                         |
| **Review Behavior**                 | Answer buttons, recorded time, and Auto Advance.                              |
| **Scheduling Algorithm**            | Desired retention, maximum interval, and learning/relearning steps.           |
| **Advanced Settings**               | The scheduler's positional parameter values.                                  |

**Reset to Default** changes the current settings draft. Save the change to persist the reset. If you leave an edited page and choose **Discard**, the unsaved changes are lost.

## Apply a preset to an existing set

1. Open **SRS Set Settings**.
2. Tap **Apply SRS Preset**.
3. Select the settings source.
4. Read the **Apply SRS Settings?** confirmation. Applying replaces the set's current settings with the selected source.
5. Confirm, then inspect the settings that matter for your next session.

Applying a preset copies settings; it is not a live subscription to future edits of that preset. A preset also cannot supply a specific linked-deck order because it has no decks of its own.

## Create or edit a preset

1. Open **Settings → Presets → SRS Presets**.
2. Choose **Create SRS Preset**, or open a custom preset to edit it.
3. Give it a distinct name such as _Light daily workload_.
4. Configure its settings sections. You can copy a starting configuration through **Import SRS Settings**.
5. For a new preset, return to its main page and tap **Create SRS Preset**. When editing an existing preset, use **Save Change** in each changed settings section.

The system default preset is **View only**. Create a custom preset to change those values. Deleting a preset removes the reusable configuration; it is not a command to delete the sets where you previously copied its settings.

## Choose settings with a clear purpose

For less daily work, first consider the number of new cards you introduce. For how often established cards return, inspect **Desired Retention** and **Maximum Interval**. For cards returning within a session, inspect learning steps and **Review Ahead Limit**.

Start with [Daily limits](https://docs.flashnerd.com/reference/srs/daily-limits.md) and [Scheduling](https://docs.flashnerd.com/reference/srs/scheduling.md). Advanced users can consult [FSRS parameters](https://docs.flashnerd.com/reference/srs/parameters.md).
