Presets collect all settings that can be applied to an archive, from the destination folder and archive format, to passwords and even a script to execute after the operation completed. There are two types: save presets for archive creation and extraction presets.

You can configure presets in the preferences window on the Presets tab. The Presets tab has itself two tabs, one for each type: Extract and Save. Both share the same structure: On the left side they each have a list of all the presets of the selected kind. Each preset has two radio buttons in the list.

On the right side of the list is an area with all the options you can set for the preset:
