The popup editor is really handy for applying a more customized look to your text boxes, learn more about each individual feature through this article for more information.


h1, h2 text editing options:

You can apply h1/h2/h3 options through our popup editor to provide more accessibility in your emails. Expand the "Paragraph" menu to select these options.


Select different fonts/font sizes/font weights/text color/highlight text:

Keep in mind that the popup editor will override certain text elements such as text size and font choices. We recommend applying global text changes through the menu on the right side of the builder and using the popup editor for detail work/more customization.


Bold, italicize, underline, or strike through your text:

Help emphasize your text to make your message pop!


Add a subscript or superscript to your text with ease:


Reset formatting:

If you've decided you want to reverse the changes that you applied through the text editor, you can do so by clicking the "reset formatting" button.


Add bullet points/numbered lists:

You can also apply more customization for lists through the "list attributes" section on the right side menu. Apply new bullet points by pressing the "enter" key, and to create a sub-bullet, press the tab key. When you are finished with your bullet points, you can press the enter key twice to undo bullet points and continue typing more text. Learn more about customizing lists here: List style.


Adjust text direction:

Select to either edit text from right to left, or left to right. You can also adjust text direction in a more global way on the right side menu under text attributes > text direction.


Add in a non-breaking space:


Add in or delete a hyperlink added into a text box:

From here you can insert/edit a link into a section of your text box.

This will open up a popup screen where you can make adjustments to your link. You can choose if the link will open a webpage, open in app, send an email, send an SMS message, or make a call. You can also choose to have the link open to a new webpage or on the same page. Expand the option to add link tracking too. Just make sure to press save before closing out of this screen to apply your changes to the asset you're working on.


Add in Special Links or Merge Tags

Last but certainly not least, you can add in the merge tags that have been configured to your account to your assets by using the popup editor. For more information on how to set up merge tags/special links check out this help document here: No Code and Multi-MAP Merge Tags.
