Switch Email Templates

A new template is a quick way to change the look of your email campaign. You can switch your template in the campaign builder at any time, and we'll try to move previous campaign content into your new layout.

In this article, you'll learn how to switch your campaign template.

Before you start

Here are some things to know before you begin this process.

• We recommend that you save your original content as a template or replicate it as a backup. Occasionally, we're unable to transfer all your content from one template to another.
• To help us move your content when switching templates, we recommend you make a minor edit, such as an added space, to any content block with text.
• Depending on your plan, you may not have access to all of the template options. To find out what features are included in each plan, check out our pricing page.

Switch templates

To switch your template in the campaign builder, follow these steps.

1. In the Content section, click Edit Design.
   
2. On the Design step, click Save as Template to back up your content.
   
3. Enter a name for your backup template and click Save.
4. On the Template step, click the Layouts, Themes, Saved templates, or Campaigns tab. Code your own templates won't preserve content during a switch.
5. Choose the template you want to use.
6. In the About switching templates pop-up modal, click Change Template.
   

We'll do our best to place your original template's content in the new template of your choice.

Recover content

If text from your previous layout is missing from your new layout, we can sometimes help you recover it. Any image content can be accessed with the Content Studio.

To access recovered email campaign content after you switch templates, follow these steps.

1. Click a Text content block in your campaign.
2. In the editing pane, click Recovered Content.
   
   If you don’t see a Recovered Content button, you may need to manually copy and paste content from your backup.
3. Use the left and right arrows to view each piece of recovered content.
4. When you find the content you want to place in the content block you're currently editing, click Use This.
   
5. Repeat Steps 1-4 for other Text content blocks in your email campaign.
