-
Remove the default filter on the Approved Document Status column to display both staged content and approved content.
- Select the appropriate staged template.
The Add Details section warns marketing users when an email-based action in their campaign or journey is using staged content, and are prevented from activating the campaign or journey while the content is staged.
Previewing a Staged Template
When previewing a staged template, users are notified of the template's status via a banner at the top of the Preview Email Template modal, as well as a red Staged pill within the content.
Sending Test Emails for Staged Templates
Users can send a test email for a staged template using the same functionality as approved content. See Sending Test Emails in Campaign Manager for more information.
