🛠️ 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
