I saved a custom zone in the Zones Panel but cannot find a way to reload it for another clip.

The ref manual describes how from the HDR Palette option menu but (see screenshot) there is no such option.

copied from manual...

Methods of managing presets:
‚ To save a preset: Customize the Zone graph to suit your needs, then choose
Save As New Preset from the HDR Palette option menu.
‚ To load a preset: Choose Presets > Name of Preset > Load Preset from the
HDR Palette option menu. A new preset will be saved.
‚ To update a preset: Load a preset, make any changes you need to from the
Zone graph, and then choose Presets > Name of Preset > Update Preset from the
HDR Palette option menu.
‚ To delete a preset: Choose Presets > Name of Preset > Delete Preset from the
HDR Palette option menu

Claire, the screenshot you posted clearly shows an option to Save as New Preset.
Once that is done, you will see new options to load presets.

Hi Dmitry, I said "I saved a custom zone in the Zones Panel but cannot find a way to reload it for another clip"

Just to check I went back in my timeline to the clip and node where I created that preset and it's still present in the zones list where the list now has a scroll bar.

I tried once more and created yet another custom zone elsewhere in the timeline. I created it no problem but still no option to reload it or the first one seen.

It works for me after clicking on "Save as New Preset".

Aaaah... right! Got it now.

So I had pressed the 'Create New Zone' button, entered the details, then when I pressed the 'Create' button thought I was done, but not so.

Haha, thanks much and apologies for taking up the bandwidth.
