Create containers in the editor

Step by step

  1. Open the "Containers" navigation item.

  2. Select the type of container you want to create.

    If you initially only want to define the structure of your container, create a custom container. You add the specific content such as texts, images or other content later in the mailing.

    If you also want to add content to the container, create a content container. This makes container content such as stylings, recipients attributes, modules and target groups available to you again in other mailings.

    Also in the mailing: You can also save a container directly in the mailing as a content container.

    Find out more about the different container types.

  3. Click New container or New content container.

  4. Enter a name for your container.

  5. If you want, you can select an icon for your container. A meaningful icon helps you to find locate your container again if you want to add it to your mailing.

  6. Enter the width and height of your container and define the distance to the next container.

    Note: You can change the values at a later time. You should decide on the width and height early, as later changes can cause extensive container edits to be completely lost.

  7. Select a style set.

    For content containers only: Custom containers automatically use the default style set. Later in your mailing, the design will be adapted to your mailing style set.

  8. Click Save.

  • You have created a new container.
