-You can save your server presets in a preset list below the 'JOIN' and 'HOST' buttons. This allows you to quickly access and manage your servers.

-To add a server, first enter the ip address and the port (plus the password if needed), then click on the + icon to add a name to your preset. To remove a server from the list, select it and click on the - icon.

-  - The 'localhost' preset, to host and join a local session quickly
-  - The 'public session' preset, to join the public sessions of the multi-user server (official discord to participate : https://discord.gg/aBPvGws)
