3. Email Subject Line

for some emails you can edit the subject line directly in the editor. Once you click the subject line, it will open a dropdown with the list of parameters you can use. Other than that you can use any text or emoji.

4. Testing and Versioning

This is where you can preview test and revert any changes made. 

• Preview - when you are in a template for one of the emails (not a snippet) you can preview that email. Clicking the Preview button will open the email in a new tab. This is very useful for small changes, but at some point it is important to also test emails in your Inbox and/or Litmus, since the preview does not take into account email client limitations.
• Test Email - clicking the Test Email button will open a text box to enter an email address, and will send a test email to that address. This is important to view any possible differences between the preview and an actual email.
• Browse Versions - This enables you to revert changes for a certain template up to 5 versions back. Any saved version will be added here. 
• Save Changes - saves the changes to a specific template being worked on. 

Error Handling

The Editor Can Handle 2 types of errors:
1. Syntax Errors - errors in the relevant language (liquid/html/CSS) - There are different markers to alert to these types of errors. Additionally, if such error is made, the preview, test and save buttons become disabled
 

2. Logical Errors - These are errors that are only detected during compilation - the email fails to compile. This can happen, for example, if we use a placeholder in the wrong place. In that case, the preview, test and save buttons are not disabled, but if we click one of them we will get the following message the indicates where and what the error is.
