Add preset sizes for social media posts, banners, and stories
Adding size presets for specific platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc. would be helpful to easily create posts, profile banners, and story graphics

Hello again, Hans.
'There is no clear way to do that’ means that Illustrator does not provide a clear way to include our own presets to this list.
To have something appear in Templates, you have to put in in the designated folder, something like %AppData%\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 26 Settings\en_US\x64\Templates'Why can't you just add common social media templates as well' — I can’t add anything, I am not an engineer, I am a mere user with the badge and some knowledge :)
The Saved tab is not meant for user-saved presets... yeah, it’s stupid, I know. It supposed to have downloaded and imported templates.
The help says: 'Quickly access templates that you've downloaded from Adobe Stock (Saved tab)’ — https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/create-documents.htmlSo it’s not the functionality that is missing, but the name is wrong and misleading.

Hi Egor. Not sure what you mean with "there is no clear way to do that"? You already have blank document presents like A4, Poster etc. Why can't you just add common social media templates as well?
Another thing, the saved tab makes no sense because when I create a custom template and save it, it does not appear in the saved tab.
We need our custom templates to appear when we want to create a new document.

There is no clear way to do that, but you can save a prepared document as template and later quickly create a new one using File > New from Template.
Not the perfect solution, but does it solve the problem for you?
