# Setting a Default Presentation

A default presentation in PaintScout automatically links the correct proposal template to new estimates based on their estimate type. This saves you from manually selecting a presentation each time.

## How Do I Set a Default Presentation?

1\. Click the person icon in the top right and go to your **Account Settings** > **Estimates** > **Estimate Types** section and select one.

2\. From the **Presentation** drop-down choose which presentation you would like to set as the default.

This change will only apply to *new* estimates created.
