Properties panel overview
The right panel has three tabs: Properties for the selected layer, Email for subject and body chrome, and Themes for the whole email.
What is the Properties panel?
The Properties panel is the right sidebar in Build. It edits whatever you have selected (a block, column, section, or the body) and also holds email-wide delivery settings and the theme.
The three tabs
- Properties: content and style for the selected block, column, or section.
- Email: subject, preheader, tracking, and body chrome.
- Themes: colours, typography, layout, buttons, and borders for the whole email.
