# Creating an Email Template

### Creating a New Email Template

First, let's create a new template to work with.

**Navigate to Email Templates:** From the main dashboard or navigation menu, find and click on "Email Templates." You will see a list of existing templates and groups on the right.

**Name Your Template:** A "New Email Template" modal will appear. In the "template name" field, enter a descriptive name for your new template (e.g., "Demo Template," "Monthly Newsletter," "Welcome Email Series - Step 1"). This name will help you identify it later.

**Create the Template:** Click the **Create** button. You will be redirected to the email template editor.

## Building and Customising Email Structure

Once you've created a new email template, the next step is to build its structure using rows and columns. This section guides you through adding structural elements and customising their appearance in detail.

### Understanding the Editor Interface

The email editor is composed of:

* **Canvas:** The central area where you design your email.
* **Top Bar:** Contains undo/redo, device previews (desktop/mobile), and a preview eye icon.
* **Right Sidebar Tabs:**
  * **Content:** Draggable content elements (Columns, Button, Text, Image, etc.).
  * **Blocks:** Pre-designed structural sections.
  * **Body:** Global email style settings.
  * **Images:** Access to stock images and your image library.
  * **Uploads:** Manage your uploaded images.
  * **Audit:** Tools to check your email design (not covered in this segment).
* **Save Changes Button:** Located in the bottom-left corner.
