Specify the container layout

You configure the text and image sections in the "Layout" workflow step. You also define the spacing and borders and set the alignment of your elements.

Step by step

  1. Open your container in the "Layout" workflow step.

  2. Drag text, image or button elements from the left panel to your container cells.

    You can also leave container cells empty.

  3. Cell settings

    Define the spacing, borders, and other settings for every container element.

    Multiple selection using Ctrl key: Press Ctrl to select and edit several container elements at once.

    Cell settings

    Section

    Settings you can make:

    Spacing and borders

    Dynamically switch between:

    • Margin
    • Padding

    • Border
    Scale image size

    Scale your image elements to the desired size.

    Use the full cell width or scale your image freely.

    Alignment

    Set the alignment for your container cell. The default setting is top left.

    Cell height

    		Define a minimum height if you do not want your cell to auto-adjust to the content.

    Show your template if required.

     

  4. Placeholder texts

    For layout containers, you can replace default placeholder text with your own placeholder text and assign text styles to it.

    Note: You can only define placeholder text for layout containers here. For content containers, enter the text in the Content workflow step.

    Which text styles can I use and how do I see the layout effects?

    You can select the text styles that are permanently stored in all style sets and cannot be deleted:

    • Continuous text 1 and 2

    • Heading 1, 2 and 3

    You will see the actual layout only within the mailing. For example, what Heading 1 looks like at the end depends on which styleset is assigned to your mailing.

  • You have updated your container layout.
