User Interface Layout
The UI can be divided into the following 4 components:
1. Email Content (Body)
The Email content area is the main area of the editor where users can drag and drop design elements to create their email templates. Before adding design elements, the initial email content can be customized for size, color, and background image. To learn more about the customization see Email Content Customization.
Positioning Selected Elements
When you drag a new element, you can place it in an existing block or create a new block above or below the existing block. A block is a container element that the system uses as the base container for all other elements when added.
When you drag an element onto the box element, you can position the element in a box. You can place the element on the top, bottom, left, or right.
Breadcrumbs
In the Updated Editor, the Breadcrumbs feature is located at the top of the email content and shows the hierarchy of the design elements in the email template.
As you add design elements to the email content, the Breadcrumbs feature updates to reflect the current selection and the elements that contain it. This can be useful when working with complex email templates that have many design elements and layers.
By clicking on the elements in the Breadcrumbs, you can quickly navigate to a specific design element in the template without having to manually search for it in the email content. This can save time and help streamline the design process.
Additionally, the Breadcrumbs feature in the Updated Editor can be used to select parent elements and easily edit their properties. This can be done by clicking on the parent element in the Breadcrumbs, which will automatically select it in the email content and display its properties in the Details Panel.
2. Sidebar
The Sidebar is located on the left side of the editor and contains all the design elements and components that can be added to the email template. This includes the Content Elements, Structure Elements, Dynamic Content (Loop), and Favorite Blocks.
To learn more about the design elements, click the following links:
- Building Content: Text, Image, Button, Divider, Content Loop Element (Dynamic Content), and Favorite Blocks,
- Building Email Structure: Box, and Multicolumn
3. Details Panel
The Details Panel is located on the right side of the editor and allows users to customize the selected design element or component. Users can change each element or component's size, font, color, alignment, and other properties.
Note: The panel options change according to the selected design element. To learn more about the properties applied to the design elements refer to Building Email Structure and Building Content.
