How to delete, edit, view, or archive a campaign

Edit a partially sent campaign 

If you notice an error in a campaign that is mid-send, you can cancel the campaign to make adjustments. 

Note that the messages that have already been sent cannot be edited. Canceling a campaign mid-send and resending it will only correct the mistake for recipients who were queued for sending, but had not yet received it. 

There are three main steps to editing a campaign mid-send: 

1. Cancel the campaign.
2. Create a segment of the recipients who already received the campaign.
3. Edit and resend the campaign to those who have not yet received it, excluding the segment of initial recipients. 

Cancel the campaign

Identify those who have already received the campaign

2. Click Create List/Segment.
3. Click Segment.
4. Create a segment with the following definition: What someone has done > Received Email > at least once over all time > where campaign name equals ___.
   
5. Click Create Segment.

Make sure to select the name of your campaign from the dropdown menu that appears. 

Edit and resend the campaign

1. Navigate to the Campaigns tab.
2. Open the three dots icon for the canceled campaign. 
3. Click Clone > Clone to this account. 
4. Apply your edits to the cloned version of the campaign.
