Link styling in email HTML editor

In the new email editor, how do I edit the styling for links? There's no option for editing the class styling, etc. Also, is there a way to edit the styling for all links in a specific email?

+1, I can't believe in-element styling has been taken out - it will impact a lot of our templates.

Hi Elana,

You can edit the styling of the link by editing the hyperlink - click on the advanced tab - and edit it in the "style field"

For example, if you want to get rid of the underline just type in text-decoration: none

Hope this helps,

Mike

Hi Elana, Mike,

to add to Mike's helpful answer, you can also edit the text colours and other styles with css in the advanced tab, for ex. color: blue;

We had the same problem with our links. In the new text editor there is no advanced tab to add the styling. And any existing emails that we edited had the styling removed. For now we have gone back to the legacy text editor until we know how to style our links using the new version.

Hi Ally,

Could you please tell me how you reverted back to the legacy text editor?

Not a big fan of the new editor - finding it very annoying that styling in my existing emails is being removed.

Many thanks,
Halid

You can still style links by opening the editor, going into the HTML, and then adding the class, styles, etc by writing directly in the code. You need to know basic HTML styling to accomplish this, but its almost identical to the knowledge needed to add styling using the old editor. The old editor was easier because it listed the option and you could put the code there, but it's not that different.

This functionality is now in the new editor. I highly recommend you switch to using the new editor, as the legacy editor will not be supported indefinitely.
