Selection (single click) based template editor, can only stack new layout and elements at the selected position. To move elements up and down, there is a up and down button

Actual mimic of Drag and Drop editor, elements can be dragged and dropped any where within the email

Elements can be dragged and dropped any where within the email

3 Width options(600px, 700px, 800px) are provided(that resemble industry standards). Rich text emails can be sent with full width email

Minimum width is 420px and Maximum width is 900px. 10px scale is used. So, 420px, 430px, 440px......880px, 890px and 900px are available options. Multiple options are a drawback for users. To change width you have to skim through all of them. If you want a 800px width and you are default is at 600px, then you have to go through 610px, 620px ....., 790px and then reach 800px. Multiple clicks are frustating.

Have fixed width(600 px, for classic and 660 px, for new)
