You will learn
Learn how to use the features in the new template editor and how it differs from the classic editor.
If you're using a classic editor template, click Switch to New Editor to access new editor features.
New features in the new template editor
These features are exclusively available in Klaviyo’s new template editor.
Sections
Use sections to organize the content of your emails. For example, use one section for all your footer content to easily save and reuse in future emails. Learn how to use sections in emails.
Universal saved content
If you save a block or section as universal content, you can make edits to all instances of the saved content at once. Learn more about using universal content in your emails.
Background images
By adding a background image to a section, you can now overlay text on an image. In the classic editor, this is only available by custom-coding a block. Learn how to overlay text on an image.
Content repeat
In the classic editor, the block repeat feature enables a block to repeat itself based on dynamic data. In the new template editor, the same behavior can be applied to entire sections. Learn how to use the content repeat feature.
Expanded preview options
Preview an email template using actual profile and event data before adding the template to a campaign or flow. Click Preview and test, then click Search for a Profile to use profile data, or click Event and select an event from the dropdown.
Undo/redo
Undo or redo changes from your current editing session by clicking the undo or redo button above the template preview.
No-code custom fonts
In Klaviyo's new template editor, you can add a custom font with just a few clicks. Once you add a custom font to one template, it is available in all new editor font dropdown menus, as well as the signup form editor.
Differences between the classic and new editors

Table blocks
New template editor
Add content to your table in the Content tab by clicking on the cell you’d like to edit.
Set the table to appear once (static) or repeat (dynamic, for abandoned cart and order confirmation emails), and adjust the number of rows/columns in the Table Settings tab.
Adjust when your table appears in the Display Options tab.
