How can I save a document preset in Illustrator? Just like in Photoshop

How can I save a document preset in Illustrator? Just like in Photoshop? I'm using Windows so please give me the Windows way. 

 

In Photoshop there is a "Save Preset" command when making a new document. But in Illustrator there is only the "Saved" tab at the top but no "Save Preset"-thing

 

Can you help with this?

 

Thanks!

There is no way to save one 'just like Photoshop', but you can save them.

 

Create a new document that matches your specifications

Edit it to include the swatches, graphic styles, text styles, brushes etc. you want (if you need to).

Save it to C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 24 Settings\en_GB\x64\New Document Profiles

(where 'en_GB' will change depending on your language versions).

 

It will thereafter be available in the tab of whatever preset you used as a base (i.e. Web, Art & Illustration, Print etc.)

    This is the kind of basic stuff Adobe never fixes. Basic, useful everyday stuff. Other examples:
    - still ships products to overseas markets with US paper sizes as presets, even though products are now delivered digitally so presumably infinitely configurable.
    - InDesign still treats line returns or spaces outside a text box as overset text when you export to PDF. Still can't tell the difference between nothingness and some text.
