Explore the editor layout

Once you open an email, the built-in editor has these areas:

Top bar

Rename the email, undo or redo changes, run Check to catch issues before you send, and save your work. See Check your email before sending. Open the ⋮ menu for more actions:

• Preview: see the email as it will render for recipients, with its own Desktop/Mobile toggle. See Edit the mobile view.
• Validate Liquid: check the Liquid syntax in your subject, preheader, footer, and body across all languages before you send. The same check is also one click away at the bottom of the Smart check panel. See Check your email before sending.
• Test email: send a preview to a test device or address. See Send a test email.
• Brand book: apply your saved logo, colors, fonts, and block defaults to this email in one click. Learn more
• Version history: view and restore an earlier saved version of this email. See Restore a previous version.

Language / Subject / Preheader bar

Above the canvas, switch the editing language, set the subject line and preheader for the email, and use Auto-translate to fill in missing translations. Learn how to set up languages and localization.

Canvas

See the email as recipients will see it, and edit text, images, and buttons directly on the layout. An empty email shows Start with a block.

Layers panel

Lists every block in your email as a tree, in the same order as on the canvas. Open it from the left edge to select a nested block or drag rows to reorder content.

Right panel

Switch between three tabs:

• Blocks: add content to the email. See Email content blocks reference.
• Settings: apply styling to the whole email at once. See Configure email-wide styling and footer.
• AI: chat with the AI assistant to generate or edit content from a prompt.

Add content blocks

1. Open the Blocks tab in the right panel.
2. Drag a block onto the canvas, or click a block to add it at the end of the email.
3. Keep adding blocks until the layout is ready.

Each block type serves a different purpose in the email:

• Heading: titles and short headlines
• Text: body copy and longer descriptions
• Button: a clickable call to action
• Image: pictures from Media store, upload, or URL
• Video: a clickable video poster that opens on YouTube or Vimeo
• Card: an image with heading, text, and button in one layout
• Divider: a line that separates sections
• Columns: side-by-side layouts (2, 3, or 4 equal columns, or 33/67 and 67/33 splits)
• Products: a grid of product cards with image, title, description, price, and a buy button
• Timer: a countdown for offers and deadlines
• Menu: a row or column of navigation or contact links
• Social: icons that link to your social profiles
• HTML: custom HTML, such as a form, survey, or embedded video

See the Email content blocks reference for settings for each block, how to save and reuse blocks, and link types for buttons and text.

Show content to specific recipients

To show a block only to some recipients, set a display condition.

Edit the mobile view

Once you’ve added your content blocks, switch to mobile to check and adjust how they look on a phone. Next to the language switcher above the canvas, use the Desktop / Mobile toggle to switch into a fully editable mobile view at real phone width. Select, edit, and rearrange content exactly the way your subscribers will see it on their phone, instead of just previewing how the desktop layout adapts.

Every mobile-overridable setting has a checkbox next to it. When the checkbox is off, a hint shows the inherited desktop value, and the setting keeps using it. Turn the checkbox on to set a separate value for mobile. Turn it off again to fall back to the desktop value.

Set different padding and font size per device

• Padding: every block, column, card, and individual element (such as text, an image, or a button) has a padding control you can override for mobile. Switch the canvas to Mobile, turn on the checkbox next to Padding, and set the new value. The desktop padding stays the same until you turn the checkbox on.
• Font size: turn on Font size (mobile) on a text element to set a size just for mobile. Without this override, large headlines shrink automatically to fit the phone screen.

Control how columns stack on mobile

Columns layouts stack vertically on phones by default. In the mobile view, use Stack columns to set how each Columns block behaves:

• Stack: columns flow into a single column, top to bottom (default).
• Keep row: columns stay side by side, preserving the desktop layout.
• Reverse: columns stack in reverse order. Useful for image + text rows: keep the image on the right on desktop, but show it on top on mobile.

Show or hide content per device

Open a block or element’s settings and use Hide on mobile or Hide on desktop under Visibility to show it on only one device, so you can build device-specific banners, CTAs, or navigation without maintaining two templates.

नोट

Hiding content by device is not the same as hiding it by recipient. To show different blocks to different recipients, see Show content to specific recipients.

Configure email-wide styling and footer

After the main layout is in place, open the Settings tab to set fonts, colors, and spacing that apply across the whole email, and fill in the Footer with your company details and unsubscribe link. Defaults here keep new blocks consistent until you override them on the canvas. Learn more

Save your email

Click Save in the top bar to save your changes. Use Undo/Redo in the top bar to step back and forward through your edits.

नोट

Saving stores your email in Content → Email content. From there you can edit and manage it, and use it in your campaigns. Learn more

Restore a previous version

Pushwoosh saves a snapshot every time you click Save. To access them, open the ⋮ menu in the top bar and select Version history — available once the email has been saved at least once.

The left panel lists saved versions newest first, with the author, timestamp, and a Latest badge on the current version. Select any version to preview it on the right, then click Restore to load it into the editor.

Restoring loads the version as unsaved changes. Nothing is overwritten until you click Save. To undo a restore, press Cmd/Ctrl+Z. Pushwoosh keeps the 20 most recent versions per email.

टिप

If your browser closes before you save, Pushwoosh keeps a local backup of your unsaved edits. The next time you open that email, a banner offers Restore or Discard. This backup exists only in the browser where it was created and is cleared as soon as you save.

Check your email before sending

Click Check in the top bar to open Smart check and scan your email for common issues:

• Buttons without a link
• Unfilled AI placeholders
• Empty image slots and missing alt text
• Text contrast that doesn’t meet WCAG AA
• An empty or too-long subject line
• A missing sender postal address in the footer of a marketing email
• Content that pushes the email over Gmail’s clipping limit (~102 KB, after which Gmail truncates the message)
• Untranslated content
• A countdown timer whose end date has already passed
• A display condition with a broken or empty rule, a branch that lost the block it chains to, or a condition that won’t apply because dynamic content is disabled for the account

Click a finding to jump straight to the affected element on the canvas.

नोट

Smart check runs inside the editor and doesn’t check deliverability. Audit, which runs on the campaign send step against a real test send, still checks things like spam score, broken links, and the unsubscribe header. Run Smart check first to fix editor-visible issues, then rely on Audit before you send.

If you use Liquid in the subject, preheader, footer, or body, click Validate Liquid syntax at the bottom of the Smart check panel. Pushwoosh checks the syntax in every language you added.

नोट

The Liquid check validates syntax only. It does not verify that the tags or event attributes you reference exist or that values are available for every user.

Send a test email

Before sending your email campaign, you can send a test email to preview how the content will appear in recipients’ inboxes.

1. Open the ⋮ menu in the top bar and select Test email.

2. In the window that opens, pick a saved test device or type any email address.

3. Click Send to send the test message to the address you chose.

Use your saved email content

Now that your email content is ready, it can be used in email campaigns. Learn more about how to use it
