Make this artifact type a preferred artifact type
When creating an artifact type in DNG there is an option:-
'Make this artifact type a preferred artifact type'
The documentation does not seem to make any reference to this option.

What is this option supposed to do?
Accepted answer
When your project has many artifact types, but you only have a handful that you use often, you can set those as "preferred artifact type".
The result is that when you are in the folder view, the blue "Create" button in the top-left will present, by default, only the preferred artifact types that you set. The other types will be tucked away in the "Other..." option, should you need them.
You can do the same thing for the module context. When you create an artifact type that you set the "Default artifact format:" as "Module", a new section called "Preferred Module Content" will appear where you can set up your preferred heading artifact types and row artifact types. Then, when you go into a module of that type that you configured, the top-left blue "Create" button will have those preferred artifact types shown by default.
