For the best preview, use the preview function inside the editor. We are aware that the mobile preview shown in some parts of the platform (e.g. inside Saved and Send pages in Messages > Email) is not correct. This will be fixed soon.
However, any preview is only a reasonable rendering of the email, which can differ once sent based on operative system and client used. To better check compatibility across devices and clients, you can use the Previews tool, which generates real previews on dozen of email clients, both mobile and desktop. You can find this feature under Messages > Email > Send, choosing Checkup from the Actions menu of the message you want to check.

If the file manager freezes on opening, with the loading animation looping, it means that another account administrator has entered the editor's file manager.

You can link an image or a button to a file. If you want to link text to a file, for now you will need to paste the URL to the file. If the file is in the image manager, open the image manager, locate and right-click on the file, then click "Copy address". Now you can paste the URL of the file in the link field.
In the future, we will add a feature to make it easier to link text to a file.
