Click "Blocks" to add different elements to your page
Blocks can be easily drag and dropped in the newsletter.
Elements are self-contained units of content and design. Each element represents a specific piece of functionality or content that you can add to your page. When you drag an "Image" element onto your page, for instance, you're not just adding a space for an image; you're adding a complete, pre-configured structure that's ready for you to upload an image and apply specific styling
13. Click "Open Layer Manager"
Open Layer Manager is a important tool that helps you manage the different elements and content on your web page. Think of it like a stack of transparent sheets (layers) in a graphic design program (like Photoshop or Figma), where each sheet holds a different part of your design
14. Click "Component settings" which is context-sensitive; meaning, the options displayed within it change depending on which component you have selected on your page/email canvas
15. Components setting:
ID: This field displays and allows you to edit the unique identifier (ID) of the selected component
Title: This field allows you to provide a descriptive title or name for the selected component
16. Click "Open Style Manager"
17. Click "Dimension" to adjust the dimensions as per your needs
Dimensions: Refer to the physical size of an element (its width and height) and its spacing relative to other elements (margins and padding). Understanding these concepts is key to creating well-structured and visually appealing layouts
18. Click "Margin" to adjust margins as per your needs
Margin: Controls the space outside the component's border, separating it from other elements around it. Think of it as pushing other elements away
19. Click "Padding" to set the padding for the section
Padding: Padding creates inner space within an element. It pushes the element's content away from its own borders (and therefore away from its own edges)
20. Click "Typography" to change the font, size, color, alignment etc. of the text
21. Text align: Controls the horizontal alignment of text and inline content within its containing element (e.g., a paragraph, heading, button, or column). It dictates where the text begins and ends horizontally within the available space of its parent
22. -
23. Click "Decorations"
Decorations: Refer to the visual styling elements that affect the box of the component itself, rather than just the text
24. - Border Radius: his controls the roundness of the corners of the component's box. It allows you to create rounded corners of the elements
25. Click "Background"
Background: This section allows you to define the background of the selected component's box. You can choose to have a solid color or an image as the background
