Legacy Email
Notification
A new message will appear in Legacy Email Home reminding admins that you will no longer be able to send emails through the Legacy System following February 28th at 7:00 P.M. CST.
Updated Menu
The Email Menu will be updated so the New Email links are now primary on the left side of the menu. Legacy links will still be available under a Legacy Column on the right side of the menu.
Flagged Words
The Flagged Words feature of the Encompass platform will be sunset with the 4 February 2019 release. This feature compared form and community content submissions against a list of disallowed words for admin review.

Clone to HTML
A new feature that Advanced HTML Admins will have access to. The feature will allow you the ability to clone an email made in the drag-and-drop editor to create a new HTML version of this email. This will allow the ability to use the drag-and-drop editor for the main portions of your design and then create an HTML copy for other tweaks that your team might need.
Note: This will create a new copy of the email. Any changes made to either email instance going forward will not update the other instance.
Email Home
Email Sent is now the History tab! This grid will also have a new Status column that will provide updates on emails you and your staff send. Want to check and see if the email was successful or is still processing to send? This is the perfect column that allows you to get near-real time updates of your sends with tool-tips that inform you about each step in the process.
