Open an email draft to make edits

1. Tap the Menu icon . 
2. Tap Campaigns.

Once in edit mode, you can add different types of blocks, including images and text blocks. You can also edit, move, copy, and delete existing blocks. When you're done editing your email, tap the X in the top-left of the screen and tap Save.

Autosaving Changes

On iOS, changes you make to emails in the mobile application's email editor will be saved automatically as you work. On Android, be sure to regularly tap the Save button in the top right corner of the application to save your work. It's a good idea to save your progress after every major change. 

If you leave the email or the mobile application altogether, you can return to the email draft to continue from your last save point.
