How default finishes and design-level preferences override admin defaults

Learn how freshly added units take their finish from global preferences and why a design's own finish wins.

1. Materials are set at the material level of each unit as it is placed, so carcass, shutter, back panel, finish and edgeband are configured then rather than in a separate checking pass afterwards.

2. The default finish applied to a freshly added unit, such as the carcass colour, is taken from the global preferences configured in the admin portal, so changing that preference changes the finish of units added afterwards.

3. A finish chosen in a design's own preferences takes precedence over the admin-portal finish defaults, so every unit added to that design afterwards is stamped with the design-level finish rather than the admin default.
