I understand that, but the order is important to know. Does it load the global then link to it or does it link to the global then load it. I don't want to add a link to a global and accidentally push bogey settings from a preset into the global if it links first then loads, which will then require fixing a bunch of presets....No, link and load from takes care of both.
It creates a link to the global block instance and then loads from it.I understand that, but the order is important to know.

Ok, so if I have an existing block in a preset and click "Link-to and Load-from" does it overwrite the global or overwrite the existing block?It creates a link to the global block instance and then loads from it.
Yes, exactly this. Order of operations is important.I'd say it loads from the global # then links to it, because the result is the same as "load" then "link" separately in that order.
If you link then load you're overwriting the global slot with whatever the current settings are, then redundantly loading those to the block which already has those settings. The menu item would be more clear as "Load from and link to" or "Load from then link to" IMO.
Other way around.It creates a link to the global block instance and then loads from it.
Overwrites existing, local settings with the global settings and then makes the link.Ok, so if I have an existing block in a preset and click "Link-to and Load-from" does it overwrite the global or overwrite the existing block?
It overwrites the existing block with data from the global block. "Load from" is the operative phrase here. See the Axe-Fx manual for the explanation of what does what.Ok, so if I have an existing block in a preset and click "Link-to and Load-from" does it overwrite the global or overwrite the existing block?
So, essentially, it should really be labeled "Load-from then Link-to", then, to be more concise and clear.Overwrites existing, local settings with the global settings and then makes the link.
That would be more accurate, but no more concise.So, essentially, it should really be labeled "Load-from then Link-to", then, to be more concise and clear.
That's actually what it's called in the manual and on the hardware when you're working with global there.
So: yes.

Minutely more concise by replacing 'and' with 'then' to explicity declare the order of 'Load-from' and 'Link-to'.That would be more accurate, but no more concise.
Ohhh. One that only a few of us have access to.
Nice. It's been fixed, then.Ohhh. One that only a few of us have access to.
That's more accurate, but one character less conciseness (concision? ).Minutely more concise by replacing 'and' with 'then' to explicity declare the order of 'Load-from' and 'Link-to'.
