Sections

Sections are the basic elements of an email and correspond to the top level of its structure. 

The sections contain the content elements (texts, images, buttons, etc.), and it is from these that you can define modules.

Adding a section

To add a section to an email, switch to the “Elements” tab in the design pane.

You can then drag and drop the “Section” element to the position you want in your email.

For more information about the design pane, please refer to The structure of the Designer.
