The Goal: Use the Columns tool in the Email Designer to add columns and rows so you can organize images, text, and other content elements exactly where you want them in your newsletter.
Before You Begin:
- You need access to Marketing & Communication, Communication section, Email Designer.
- Have an Email Designer template open in which you want to organize content.
Email Designer Tools are basic content elements that are used to design your templates. Text, images, and buttons are some examples of the built-in tools. To start using these tools, you will simply drag them into your newsletter to add content. Content formatting options are displayed when a tool is added to your document.
This article will cover the Columns Tool.

Step-by-Step Instructions
- Go to Marketing & Communication, Communication section, click Email Designer, then open the template you want to edit.
- From the standard tools, drag & drop the Column tool into your template.
- Define the number of columns you want in the row.
- Add as many rows as needed. You can always go back to remove rows or change the number of columns in a row.
- Drag additional content elements, like images and text, into the columns and rows to place them exactly where you want them.
Common Pitfalls
- Adding content before structuring rows: When getting started, add your columns and rows first. This makes it easy to drop images and text into just the right place rather than rearranging content later.
