For a very long time now, Fortnite had the pre-edits option enabled for all players, with no way to turn it off. With the Fortnite v15.20 update, arguably one of the biggest additions is the ability to disable pre-edits completely, which should ensure players get the right piece down every time.

Here's how you can disable pre-edits in Fortnite after the v15.20 update.

Fortnite pre-edits: How to disable

Pre-edits in Fortnite is, simply put, the ability to edit and set a number of different builds for structures. 

However, many players have opted not to use it, as it can lead to mistakes while building or utter confusion, especially in heated situations.

With the Fortnite v15.20 update, Epic Games finally decided to add an option to disable pre-edits, to the joy of Fortnite players everywhere.

With the "Disable Pre-Edits On" option, no player-built structures can be edited until they are placed down. This should ensure players get the right piece down every time.

To disable pre-edits in Fortnite, follow the simple steps below.

  • Launch Fortnite
  • Head on over to the settings tab
  • Scroll down to the "Building" section
  • The second option will read "Disable Pre-Edit Option"
  • Turn this setting "ON" to disable the feature
