Pool email editor types

As part of our ongoing commitment to email deliverability, there are two ways to compose emails in Pool:

• Drag & Drop email editor and templates that use content blocks 
• HTML editor 

You can differentiate between the two types on Pool >> Email >> Templates or when you're sending a distribution (see screenshot below).

The emails in Pool have always allowed you direct access to the underlying HTML code, which is great for advanced use cases or pasting existing inline HTML from other email tools, but can also lead to problems for anyone not wanting to deal with source code. The new drag & drop editor allows much faster editing with better results in the inbox of your recipients. Here's a quick way to think about the differences:

Migrating Existing HTML Templates to Drag & Drop

If you'd like to start using the drag & drop templates with existing HTML content, you can migrate them over but please keep in mind it's a manual process to create the structure of the email properly, so it takes a bit of work. Read all about it in the migration guide here.
