The Style tab controls your email's global design settings for a consistent look. From there, manage text appearance, colors, spacing, and button styles, to define your email's visual identity without individual block styling. You'll find key sections—each giving you control over a specific aspect of your email’s overall layout and design:
🎨 Brand library
Set up your brand library so that every new template you select will inherit your brand properties, such as logo, colors, fonts, and social media links. In addition to saving you time, brand library allows you to maintain consistent email branding. |
➡️ To learn more about the brand library, check our dedicated article Automatically design your emails with your brand's assets using the brand library.
🧩 Layout
The body is the central part of the email that contains your actual message and content, displayed in a vertical layout. In the Layout section, you can choose your body width and color:
By default, the width is set to 600px, but when you change the width, the layout and content blocks are automatically resized.
↔️ Spacing
The Spacing section allows you to add Padding, which is the space at the top and bottom of your email design. To set the padding, enter a value in pixels or use the + / − buttons.
You can either:
- Leave the Group side box checked to apply padding to both the top and bottom of your email design, or
- Uncheck the Group side box to adjust each side individually (top, bottom).
🔙 Background
You can choose either a background color or a background image for your email design:
To use a background image, click Add image to choose an image from your files or from the stock image library, or paste your image link in the Image URL field.
| Once your image is inserted, you will be able to adjust its position, repetition, and size as needed: |

🌐 Header
Toggle the Show 'View in Browser' Link option to allow your recipients to view an online version of your email campaign if they ever have trouble displaying it in their email clients. A View in browser link will automatically be added at the top of your email:
➡️ To learn more about the view in browser link, check our dedicated article Add a mirror link to your emails (View in Browser).
🖍️ Text styles and settings
You can choose the text appearance of each style separately (paragraphs, headings, etc). Select the style for which you want to set a font family, size, and color and select them from their respective drop-down lists:
| In the Text settings section, you can also choose the line height from the default ones or create a custom height, and choose the writing direction (left to right or right to left) from all your texts: |
