Using the WYSIWYG editor vs. the Drag-and-Drop editor

MailUp has a /wiki/spaces/MUG/pages/36872601 that allows you to create messages quickly and easily. it's called /wiki/spaces/MUG/pages/36872601.

  • When you create a message with Bee, you do not have access to the HTML.
  • With the WYSIWYG editor, you cannot drag and drop content into the message, but you can access the HTML.
  • You can start a message with Bee and then further edit it with the WYSIWYG editor if you need to edit the underlying HTML

In the WYSIWYG editor, all related tools are grouped and easy to reach: use the tabs on top of the ribbon to pick what you need.

Use the HTML button in the bottom left to view and edit the HTML source code.
