03Place both presets at their heights

Click the 53 preset, then click beside the upper band. Click 30, then beside the lower band. Presets save you from retyping the values; your image clicks still determine where the labels go.

Place both presets at their heights

04Update the current strip

Check the protein name, crop and both weights, then click Update strip. This example changes an existing GSDMD strip. A save message appears and the preview retains the updated crop and labels.
