We've completely rebuilt our no-code email editor from the ground up. After months of development, testing, and gradual rollout, the new editor is now available to 100% of users across [Templates](/features/templates), [Broadcasts](/features/broadcasts), and [Unsubscribe Pages](/docs/dashboard/settings/unsubscribe-page).

The new email editor is faster, more extensible, and more flexible. Here's everything that's new.

## Redesigned layout

The editor has a completely new layout with a refreshed sidebar, improved topbar navigation, and a cleaner canvas. The new menu toolbar shows all components, variables, and contact properties in a single place.

The inspector panel now lives in a dedicated sidebar with better organization, making it easier to find and adjust properties for any selected element and easier to build more advanced layouts.

## Multi-column layouts

You can now create multi-column layouts directly in the editor.

Choose from 2, 3, or 4 column configurations via the slash command menu, and each column supports independent content including text, images, buttons, and more.

## Global email theming

A new theming system lets you define global styles for your emails in one place. Set default colors, spacing, and more to bring consistency to your entire email.

## Paste-to-embed for YouTube and X/Twitter

Paste a YouTube or X/Twitter link directly into the editor and it automatically converts to a rich embed.

YouTube links default to an embedded preview image that's instantly uploaded, and X/Twitter links render as styled cards. A contextual paste menu lets you choose between embedding or keeping the plain link.

## Smarter slash command menu

The slash command menu now uses scored ranking for search results, making it faster to find the component you need.

Column layouts, embeds, and other newer components are easier to discover, and the menu positioning has been refined to avoid viewport clipping.

## HTML code view with formatting

A new code view panel lets you inspect and edit the raw HTML of your email. The code editor expands to fill the sidebar height and includes a built-in HTML formatter powered by Prettier that auto-formats your code when viewing API-created documents.

You can even push HTML via the API and continue editing in the editor, optimally converting it to live components or back into raw HTML.

## Improved drag and drop

Block reordering via drag and drop has been completely rewritten. The drag handle now has a better safe zone so it doesn't disappear unexpectedly, properly constrains to viewport bounds, and handles edge cases like leaf nodes and nested elements more reliably.

## What's next

We're continuing to refine the editor experience based on your feedback. These fundamental changes offer a more robust foundation for future improvements and extensibility.
