Once you click the Import button, you can select the source of the preset you want to import. You can either import from a file or from a URL.
Import one or more Presets from file
Presets that are published to the LM Studio Hub can be imported by providing their URL.
Importing public presets does not require logging in within LM Studio.

LM Studio manages config presets on disk. Presets are local and private by default. You or others can choose to share them by sharing the file.
Click on the •••
button in the Preset dropdown and select "Reveal in Finder" (or "Show in Explorer" on Windows).
Reveal Preset in your local file system
This will download the preset file and automatically surface it in the preset dropdown in the app.
Presets you share, and ones you download from the LM Studio Hub are saved in ~/.lmstudio/hub
on macOS and Linux, or %USERPROFILE%\.lmstudio\hub
on Windows.
