Row Templates
Overview
You can save individual rows as row templates and reuse them. You can find row templates in the Layout tab in the side panel. A drop-down menu offers various categories of row templates to choose from:
- Empty row templates: Row templates without content with different column divisions for defining the layout.
- Own row templates: Row templates that were created in the current client.
- Shared row templates: Row templates that were created on another client and have been released for cross-client use.
If no rows from a category are available, the category is not displayed.
Row templates are either standard row templates or synchronized row templates. The difference is that you can insert a row based on a standard row template to a design and then edit the row individually, while changes to synchronized row templates will apply everywhere where the row template is used.
Synchronized row templates are marked with the icon in the side panel and have a purple frame in the design when selected. They are useful, for example, to update action banners with new content or to keep headers and footers up to date in multiple message drafts.
Standard row templates can be used as shared row templates across multiple clients. Synchronized row templates are limited to the client in which they were created because they may have properties that cannot be transferred to other clients.
