Adding shared content to emails in the Design Editor

Shared content is reusable content snippets that you can create once, then reuse in different emails and landing pages. It allows you to "build once, re-use everywhere" for your most valuable common pieces of content. Shared content is stored in the component library. Learn more about shared content.

To add shared content to your email:

  1. With your email open, drag the shared content to the layout.
