Work with campaign layouts

Abstract

Learn how to design a layout for your campaign .

If you are designing a campaign from scratch or using a predefined template in the campaign editor, you usually start by designing an overall structure, which might consist of multiple layouts. You do this by dragging and dropping different layouts into the editing area and dividing the blank workspace into different rows. Each row can have different slots where you can add items to build your design.

To be able to add items to a campaign, it must have at least one layout.

Add a layout

To add a layout:

  1. In the left pane of the editor, click the Layouts tab.

  2. Drag and drop a layout into the editing area. You can select and combine these types of layouts:

    • Full Width Container - a vertical slot which extends to the complete width of your design.

    • Half Width Container - a row divided into two equally sized vertical slots.

    • 1/3 - 2/3 Container - a row divided into two vertical slots, with the first having half the width of the second.

    • 2/3 - 1/3 Container - a row divided into two vertical slots, with the first having twice the width of the second.

    • 3 X 1/3 Container - a row divided into three equally sized vertical slots.

    • 4 X 1/4 Container - a row divided into four equally sized vertical slots.

    Repeat the process to add more layouts.
