🛠️ Preparation

Before you begin:

Make sure your Meta Puzzle settings are configured (Chain or Boss Level)
(Optional) Save them as presets using the Preset Save icon in the top bar
Decide how many puzzles/sets you want to create

🔁 Step-by-Step: Using Time Saver with Meta Puzzles

1. Open the Time Saver Tab

Click on the Time Saver tab. You’ll see a table where you can add puzzle creation jobs (rows).

2. Add Puzzle Rows

You can add puzzle rows in two ways:

Add Row → Adds a single row using your current Pick and Place settings
Add Rows (Select Presets) → Lets you select from your saved presets to queue multiple puzzle jobs at once

Each row includes:

Grid Size (e.g. 4×4, 6×6, 9×9)
Difficulty (from your saved levels)
Quantity (how many to generate)
Type (Chain, Boss Level, or Standard types)
Boss Level Steps (only needed for Boss Level rows)

🧠 You can mix regular puzzles and Meta Puzzles in one run.

3. Configure and Organize

Use Row Up and Row Down to re-order generation steps
Use Delete Selected or Delete All to clean the list
You can save the entire Time Saver setup as a Preset for repeat use (great for building series or themed bundles)

4. Run the Batch

Check the box “Use Time Saver to generate puzzles” at the top
Click Create (TS) at the bottom to start batch generation
Puzzles will be saved automatically based on your Output Settings

🎉 Outcome

You’ve now created a full set of puzzles—whether Chain, Boss Level, or both—in a single automated run. Ideal for:

Multi-volume puzzle book workflows
Daily classroom worksheets
Bulk client orders or seasonal bundles
