Question about pre-soaking dry beans

I do the quick soak method sometimes, but I'm curious if you can pre-soak beans and then keep them in the fridge for a few days? I am trying to a do

I also use canned beans when in a hurry but the dry ones are much better

Kroni will be here with her tips also..

I don't do the over night soak most times
