You can accept a default value, if one is offered. Empty strings are permitted for some fields.

    You can reuse a saved configuration by editing the parameters, see Editing and regenerating a pattern.

    Parameter groups might be marked with error markers. You can click the error marker to move to the first field that has an error.
