Editing Design (section)

=== The Email Designer Content Menu Options ===

The Content tab in the Email Designer helps you build the structure of a campaign. This includes:

* Structures (with Containers)
* Blocks

A Structure is a drag and drop element that you can use to create different types of content blocks in your campaign. You can drag and drop as many Structures as you need for your design.

Each Structure has a certain number of Containers. You can pick a Structure that contains 1, 2, 3, or 4 Containers. These Containers allow you to use multiple campaign functions in one content block. For example, you can place a Structure with 2 Containers into your campaign and use one Container for a text box and another for an image file.

You can configure the sizing and general appearance of individual containers within a structure by clicking on the “To Structure” option near the top of the side menu. When you click that option, you will see a new menu appear where you can edit things like indentation and padding for each container. If you click on “To Container” in the same top of the side menu location, it will take you to menu options for the campaign as a whole.

Once you place your desired Structures in your campaign, you can begin to fill them with specific blocks.

*NOTE: If you would like to add another container to a structure, you can click the plus sign in the top right. Once that container is added, you can easily adjust it to the size of the other containers by clicking the equal (=) button.*

A Block is the specific type of content you want to include in your campaign. The following are the types of blocks you can use to design your campaign:

* Image
* Text
* Button
* Spacer
* Video
* Social
* Banner
* Timer
* Menu
* HTML for custom code

Once in place, you can click on each of these elements to customize them with colors, font sizes, links, and more. To use any of them, you need to drag and drop it to your template and then edit.
