Add and edit an article item in a newsletter

One of the items in the Campaign Editor that you can use in designing your email marketing campaigns is an article. Articles typically consist of two parts: an image and a text. You can use articles to connect your newsletters to your site.

After adding a layout, you can add an article item to your design.

A. Add an article

1. In the editor’s left pane, click the Items tab.

   Note: You can add an article item to any layout except the 1/3 or 1/4 slots. 
3. Click the article item to display the Article settings in the editor’s right pane. You can now add the text and image parts of your article. You can either scroll down to view the available settings or use the Search field to enter the name of the setting you want to edit. 

B. Edit the text part of the article

1. Click the article item to display the Article settings in the editor’s right pane.
