@michael_florin-2 Can you click on "Edit Email Content" button and create a draft to make edits. We definitely working toward improving the UX more

@dave_roberts 

 the UX for editing the meta data is a bit confusing. An improvement here might be to reorganize the meta data to be editable within the draft experience rather than on the "top level", outside of the email editing experience. Perhaps this could be moved into a panel within the email editor rather than a panel in the file-tree so that the experience is not so disjointed and requires less back-and-forth to update this content?
>> Love the feedback, we will work on the UX

I've also noticed this week that Fragments are not working within the editor. When I've created a fragment and placed it into an email, approved the email and then re-drafted it to go in and make edits it's just shown the circular loading bar where the fragment should be instead of actually displaying the fragment in there. It looked like there was an issue with the scripting where there was an errant quotation mark in the fragment's attributes which I'd guess is what was creating the load loop? 

>> We have done some updates to fragments, are you still facing this issue?

Also, for the "fully customizable fragments" it appears that when you customize a fragment that it breaks away from the "template" of the fragment and becomes a one-off in the individual email asset. I think this is a really neat feature, but I'm wondering if there is a way that this could optionally update the actual fragment so that the end-user would have the choice to edit the root fragment (and update it everywhere that it's used) OR to break the fragment away from the root fragment and fully customize it within the editor experience?

 >> Have you tried break inheritance features? Also we launched something called parameterized fragments, we enabled it to all eligible customers this week. Can you give it a shot?

@fzsofi 
1. Previously it was mentioned that you will provide tools to easily migrate the old editor templates to the new, same for snippets to fragments. Is this available already? Where can I find it?
>> We are working on the migration option, we plan to release it very soon

2. The new email editor can be only used in email programs to build local assets for now. When can we expect that it will be fully functional in all program types? 
>> By March 2025 is what we are aiming to support this

@dave_roberts Love it! thank you

1) It would be great to be able to adjust the width of the columns in the Structure Modules, similar to how the "n:n Columns" module works. Ideally, this could be set as an integer (in px or percent) for each column rather than just the GUI slider. The issue with the GUI slider is that there is no user feedback to know how wide a column is and forces the layout to be setup visually rather than exactly.
>> Good one 👍

2) For the "n:n Columns" module, it would be great to be able to remove/delete or add columns rather than being stuck with exactly 5.

Tried this one?

3) It would be an improved experience if the content modules were "open" the way Email 2.0 modules are to be able to set the code inside those pieces - this would help for things like prebranded headlines and buttons and represent a step forward from Email 2.0 rather than a step backward - as it's setup now.

>> Good one 👍

4) It would be nice to be able to use template variables similar to the Email 2.0 experience to set things like branded colors as well as to preconfigure string and list variables. The lack of variables also seems to represent a step backwards compared to the Email 2.0 experience.
>> We are soon going to launch Brand themes

5) Do Fragments and Snippets really need to be separate pieces? It sounds like the only difference is that you can edit a fragment inside the email, couldn't it just be setup where a Snippet could also be edited inside the asset all the same to prevent confusion or additional work? This might help the EM 2.0 experience that everyone's already got setup integrate more seamlessly with the new experience rather than having to create a redundant set of Fragments which are just copies of existing Snippets.
>> Good points! Fragments are built with latest technology and there is lot more planned and coming into Fragments. Eg: we just launched parameterized fragments

6) Could the Fragments/Snippets present a visual preview of the HTML similar to how the modules in the EM 2.0 experience show a preview of the module in the module bay? I think this is also a step backwards from the EM 2.0 experience and creates a dependency on the naming convention to know what you're pulling into an email asset which is much less intuitive.
>> Preview of Fragments! Good idea 👍

7) Custom Fonts would be nice to be able to include rather than the fixed set of fonts in the dropdown menu options. This may also change over time as more/less web-safe fonts are supported and might require an update in the future or just get old/stale. Again, it would be wonderful if the settings like the Font Family, font-size, line-height, etc could be preset at the template level to include things like Custom Fonts and pre-branded options for headlines and text.
>> Great ideas, we are working towards Brand themes where you would define these at global level and with one click apply them 

@michellechopin wow! first of all thank you for being elaborative.

• Your screenshots above mention locking content, either partially or fully - I don't have that option in my editor. Is this something that needs to be turned on or is it being rolled out gradually?:
  

  >> We enabled it to all eligible customers this week, can you please try now
  
  

• When choosing to update an image (not using the GenAI feature), the button for Marketo Engage is cut off, regardless of window size (it doesn't have hover text to accommodate either). This is more of a UI note than an issue; a new user might not understand what that is:
  
  

  >> Good point! You might have observed this option is also available in the right panel when you select a image component
  
  

• In the Image Selector - these are all UI suggestions:
  • Firstly, THANK YOU for making it a "contains" search again (if the Design Studio can be returned to this search function, I know I'm not the only person who would absolutely love that!) -- 😃
  • The folders on the left rail come up in a random order instead of the order they're listed in Design Studio
    
    >> Very good point!
    

     

  • The entire left side has space to house the list of assets but the assets cut off midway down the window and you cannot use the slider (one can only use a mouse scroll)
    >> Good find! 👍
    
    
• In the Design Studio, it's not possible to create folders under the Email Templates [NEW] and Fragments [NEW] items - we usually have folders for items in development, archives, and active/live/for use
  >> Thats right! we have folders as our roadmap item but I cannot confirm the dates right now. M glad you asked for it 🙂
  
  
• When using the Social content in a Fragment, we have the option to use a custom icon for social (we use the black and white versions as it fits better with our brand and looks cleaner in dark mode); however, we're only given the option to upload a new icon vs using one that's already in our Design Studio (assuming this is because the intention is to use the given social icons?)
  
  • Related note: The icon for X is the original Twitter logo (I will always call it Twitter but given it's stayed as X, this should be updated for use in the editor)
    >> Good finds! 😃
    
    

Great thread. I want fonts and see that brand themes are already planned. That's good for me. Apart of that I think we may need more Contents. At least a blank one to add some white space directly. In addition, Cropping of images within the canvas, if possible.

@sreekanth_reddy - I appreciate your quick replies! I have two follow-ups for you:

1. Your screenshots above mention locking content, either partially or fully - I don't have that option in my editor. Is this something that needs to be turned on or is it being rolled out gradually?:

>> We enabled it to all eligible customers this week, can you please try now

>> Even after logging into my instance fresh this morning, I still don't have an option to lock anything. I've checked a few different sections in case it's dependent on that but whether it's a section using a Fragment, an image, or a text section, there's nothing under Settings. If there's something else I can do to get it to show, let me know!

2. When choosing to update an image (not using the GenAI feature), the button for Marketo Engage is cut off, regardless of window size (it doesn't have hover text to accommodate either). This is more of a UI note than an issue; a new user might not understand what that is:

>> Good point! You might have observed this option is also available in the right panel when you select a image component

>>I should have clarified that the screenshot I included originally is from the right panel (I didn't think to hover over the image module/section itself in the editing pane but see that they both look the same). Even for me, it wasn't immediately apparent that that's where to pull images from the Design Studio or AEM (assuming it accesses both for those instances that have it). I only realized what it was because it's next to an "Import media" button and those two options usually come hand-in-hand for image use. 

Thanks for taking all our feedback into consideration - it's cool to be able to give you that and have an impact on this feature for all Marketo Users  😀

@sreekanth_reddy Is it possible or is it planned to share Fragments across Workspaces?

@sreekanth_reddy - once we create an email within an email program, is it possible to duplicate and move it to another program? When we right-click, we are not offered a menu. I also cannot drag it to another program. When I try to clone the enter email program, I receive errors. Thanks!

@tomh1  - Is it possible or is it planned to share Fragments across Workspaces? -- Currently its not and not planned. Do you think this is something important and common practise?
