Tabs & Layouts
Organize your controls across multiple pages using tabs. Each tab has its own widget layout, so you can build dedicated pages for different shooting situations.
Working with tabs
- Add a new tab.
- Rename, duplicate, delete, and reorder tabs.
- Assign a camera to a tab so all of its widgets target that camera by default.
At least one tab is always required, so the last tab can't be deleted.
Open the tab context menu by long-pressing a tab (iPad) or right-clicking it (Mac).
Per-tab default camera
Assigning a camera to a tab sets the default for every widget on it. Individual widgets can still override this. See Multi-Camera.
Layout presets
A layout preset is a named snapshot of all of your tabs and their widget layouts (including the grid scrolling preference). Keep a preset per shooting situation, or save one before experimenting so you have a way back.
Manage presets in Settings → Layout:
- Save Current as Preset…: snapshot the current tabs under a name.
- Load: switch to the preset's tabs and widgets.
- Each saved preset can also be renamed, deleted, exported to a JSON file, or shared directly via AirDrop, Messages, Mail, and so on.
Loading a preset replaces all current tabs and widgets. If you want to keep the current arrangement, save it as its own preset first.
Presets are included in iCloud Drive sync, so they're available on all of your devices.
Exporting and importing layouts
Layouts can be exported and imported as JSON files, independently of full settings backups. Only tabs and widgets are affected — cameras, presets, and other settings are untouched. Import accepts both full layout files and individual preset files: a preset file adds to your preset list instead of replacing the live tabs. See Backup & Restore.
