Branzino - User Manual

Interface Overview

The builder interface is organized into three main areas: the sidebar toolbar, the central canvas, and the properties panel. The toolbar contains the **Components** and **Sections** tabs, from which users can select the elements to be added to the email. The central canvas represents the workspace where the newsletter content is created. Here, users can view the email structure in real time and modify its content. On the right side, the **Properties Panel** displays the email settings and the options related to the currently selected element. The interface is completed by the **Action Bar**, which provides access to template management, undo and redo functions, preview options, email export, and email sending features.

Creating a New Email

To start designing a new email, users can choose between two operating modes. The first option is to use one of the predefined templates available in the library, accessible through the **Templates** button. Templates are available for newsletters, promotions, events, and other common use cases. Alternatively, users can select the **Start from Scratch** option, which opens an empty canvas where the email content can be built freely from the ground up.

Content and Layout Management

Email composition is performed by adding blocks and sections available in the toolbar. The available content blocks include:

• Text
• Heading
• Button
• Image
• HTML
• Divider
• Spacer
• Social

Several preconfigured sections are available to structure the email layout:

• Header
• Footer
• CTA (Call to Action)
• Two Columns
• Two-Column Layout
• Three-Column Layout
• Text + Image

Elements can be added either by using drag-and-drop or by simply clicking the corresponding buttons. Each block also includes quick controls that allow users to:

• Move the block up or down
• Duplicate the block
• Delete the block
• Drag and reposition it within the layout

For multi-column layouts, column widths can be adjusted using the dedicated resize handle, allowing greater flexibility in the design of the email structure.

Text Editing and Visual Customization

Text blocks support direct content editing within the canvas. For each text element, users can customize key typography settings, including:

• Text color

• Font size

• Line height

• Text alignment

For heading elements, users can also select the appropriate heading tag (for example, H1, H2, H3, and so on). All modifications are managed through the Properties Panel, which automatically updates the available options according to the currently selected element.

Image Management and Dynamic Content

Images can be added to the email content using the dedicated button available within the Image block. In addition to direct uploads, the system allows users to search and select images from configured stock image providers. For each image, the following settings can be configured:

• Alternative text (Alt Text)

• Alignment

• Border radius

• Margins

The builder also supports the use of dynamic fields (merge fields) for managing personalized content and links. Links associated with images and buttons can be configured by selecting a specific module and field, enabling the use of dynamic variables within email content. This functionality allows email elements to automatically display personalized information based on the recipient's data.
