  10. Video - A video preview via a link. The sizes of the thumbnail can be changed accordingly.

How to add blocks?

Using individual blocks allows you to design your email layout precisely how you want it. Blocks can be dragged into your template and then dragged around if you don't like where you put them - you can even use them to create a multi-column layout by placing blocks next to each other.

Click and drag a block into your template layout into any desirable section.  

How to move blocks?

You can move a block by clicking on a particular block in your template and looking for the Arrows icon on the right side. All the blocks within a layout will move as a single unit, or they can be dragged individually to other sections if necessary.

How to edit blocks?

To edit a block, simply click on it, and you’ll see a separate window with the list of all settings for your block. The settings may differ depending on the chosen block.

How to copy blocks?

If you've created a layout out of multiple blocks you want to reuse somewhere else in your email; you can save time by copying it. Any layout or block that spans the width of your template can be copied.

Place your cursor over the block you want to copy and click the Copy icon.

How to delete a block?

To delete a block, click on the chosen block and select a Trash Can icon from the small toolbar.
