In Mailcamp, the article name Drag & drop editor (legacy) refers to the older visual builder flow compared with the classic editor. In practice, the current Mailcamp experience still centers on opening the campaign content step, choosing the visual builder when available, and editing the email in the fullscreen builder interface.
When this legacy builder article is relevant
- If your account still offers more than one content editor option.
- If you want the visual drag & drop editing experience rather than the classic HTML editor.
- If you see the builder-selection popup after choosing a template.
How to open the legacy-style visual builder
- Open the campaign you want to edit.
- Go to the Content step.
- Choose a template for the campaign.
- If Mailcamp shows more than one editor option, choose the visual builder instead of the classic editor.
How the visual builder works
- Mailcamp opens the visual builder in a fullscreen editing view.
- You edit the email layout directly inside the builder canvas.
- You can click sections, blocks, and content areas to adjust text, links, images, and design settings.
- The builder is designed for visual editing rather than direct manual HTML editing.
What you can do inside the builder
- Change the email content and layout.
- Work with templates as the starting point for your campaign design.
- Insert supported Mailcamp tags where needed.
- Preview and save your work before moving to the next campaign step.
How it differs from the classic editor
- The visual builder is more design-oriented and easier for block-based editing.
- The classic editor is better when you want direct control over HTML content and rich-text formatting.
- If both options are available, choose the one that best fits how you want to build the message.
Helpful tip
If you are unsure which builder to use, start with the visual drag & drop builder for easier layout editing, and use the classic editor only when you need more manual control.
