βFAQSβ
- Are there any templates to get started?
Absolutely! You can check out our Template Center. All of our templates will either be created in the new editor ready for duplication or will duplicate the old editor newsletter into the new editor for you. - I usually duplicate my weekly newsletter and make content changes but I don't want to go through the trouble of re-writing everything in the new editor. How can I make this easier?
Go ahead and duplicate your newsletter like you normally do, but instead of the duplication appearing in the old editor, the duplication will automatically open in the new editor for you. You'll retain the content like images, text, events, etc. so you don't need to re-write anything! - I'm used to using the old editor, I'm nervous to learn a new version.
We're feeling nostalgic about phasing out the old editor, but we promise you that the new editor is more user friendly, has more modern and cleaner designs and offers more features and better value. Once you give it a shot, you won't want to look back! - When will the old editor no longer be available?
From November 15, 2023 you won't be able to create any new newsletters in the old editor as it won't be available. Again, all of your content will still be available and you'll be able to edit your newsletters but they'll be editable only in the new editor. - Will my recipients and I still be able to open my old editor newsletters?
For now while we are migrating over to the new editor all of your newsletters that were created on the old editor will still be accessible to view and share. However, if you want to edit them, the newsletter will be migrated into the new editor. On [a soon to be announced date], all newsletters including any old editor newsletters in your account will be automatically migrated to the new editor as we will not be supporting the old editor infrastructure anymore. - Will I still be able to share my old editor newsletters and will the analytics still be supported?Thatβs right, until [a soon to be announced date], youβll be able to share your old editor newsletters and analytics will be supported. If youβd like to edit the old editor newsletter, however, youβll need to edit it in the new editor. From [the soon to be announced date], all old editor newsletters will be automatically migrated to the new editor. Donβt worry! Along with your analytics as well.
- What if I want to retain a copy of an old editor newsletter that I love but I need to edit it and I don't want it to change to the new editor just yet?
There are two options here: first you can duplicate your newsletter, then edit the duplicate in the new editor so you'll keep the original. The second option is to download your original old editor newsletter as a PDF or email it to yourself so you'll have a hard copy then go ahead and edit the newsletter. Note, that on [a soon to be announced date] all newsletters in the product will be migrated to the new editor automatically.
