Demo summary
A detailed walkthrough of using the editor to add images, use AI to generate text, style buttons, and customize the footer.
Step-by-step
- Click on a placeholder image and select Replace to upload or search for stock images
- Drag and drop blocks using the purple line indicator to guide placement
- Personalize headers by adding contact attributes like First Name with a fallback value
- Use the AI assistant by entering a prompt and clicking Generate to create text or buttons

Options
- Use Command + Z / Command + Shift + Z for undo and redo

- Save custom sections to the Saved tab for future reuse
Watch out for
- The purple line must appear before releasing a block to ensure it lands in the correct position
Tips
- Use the AI assistant to get started with a draft, then edit the text manually to match your specific tone
- When styling buttons, use the hex code FFFFFF for pure white text
- Expand button width by clicking and dragging the edges to ensure all text fits on a single line
