Upon choosing to add a Text Only block in a Block Editor template, you will be presented with the following interface to add content to the block.
We are working on plans to deprecate the Block editor. It is currently not possible to create new Email Sends/Templates using this editor, but you can clone and edit your existing Email Sends/Templates. More information will be available as we approach its final deprecation date.
