Drag and Drop Editor: Hover Menu - Lock, Clone, and Delete Blocks

When you mouse over a block in the Drag and Drop Editor, several icons will display on top of the block. These icons are referred to as the Hover Menu.

It is currently not possible to create new Email Sends/Templates using this editor, and as part of our continuing plans to deprecate the Drag and Drop editor, cloning Email Sends/Templates using the Drag and Drop Editor while on version 12.1+ will automatically update their editor type to the New Drag and Drop editor.

From version 12.2, this will be released to and applied automatically to all versions as we move to fully deprecate the old editors.

Goals

• Learn about the functions of the icons in the Drag and Drop Editor's Hover Menu.

Links Mentioned in Video ClickDimensions Security Roles

Drag and Drop Editor Hover Menu

There are three additional options when you hover over a block in the Drag and Drop editor.

Lock

To see the option for locking a block you must have the ClickDimensions Lock Email Blocks security role. Read here for more information on Security Roles. If you lock a block it means that it cannot be edited by anyone until it is unlocked.

If a user does not have one of the the previously mentioned security roles they will not be able to edit that block. This can be useful when you want to lock down things like the header and footer that should never really change.

Clone

Press the copy/clone button to make an exact replica of that particular block.

Delete

Click the trashcan to delete the block and all it's content.
