Reusable Email Sections (Global / Local / Template)
D
Daniel Kress
Problem
Teams repeat the same headers, footers, legal blocks, PS, and promos across many emails. Updates are manual and error-prone.
Proposal
Add Sections to Emails (parity with Websites/Funnels):
Global Sections: single source of truth; edits sync to all emails using them.
Local Sections: detached copies editable per email.
Template Sections: saved blocks for quick insert (no auto-sync).
UX
New “Sections” library under Marketing → Emails.
Insert panel: Global / Local / Template tabs.
Badge + tooltip shows section ID and last updated.
“Convert to Local” and “Re-link to Global” actions.
Controls & Safety
Draft → Publish workflow for Global updates.
Scoped permissions (view/use/edit/publish).
Version history with one-click rollback.
Dependency list: where a Global Section is used.
Tech Notes
Section entity with type, content_json, version, usage_map.
Rendering resolves Global by section_id at send/build time.
API: CRUD for sections; bulk re-link; diff preview.
Benefits
Consistency, faster production, fewer compliance misses.
Success Metrics
↓ build time/email, ↓ content drift, ↑ reuse rate.

Email Saved Sections Improvements (Global Blocks and Management)

Brandon E. McPeak
It would make the Saved Items feature in the email editor a lot more functional if it was possible to delete or edit those. And even better if it were possible to globally control these, so that if they appear in automations, they can be updated in one place and need not be updated in each email where they appear (e.g. sometimes I have an automation-specific opt-out text block that I want to control globally across multiple emails).
Ideally, these would be:
a) accessible and manageable under the email marketing section (probably placed to the right of Templates tab—see the attached screenshot with red arrow)
b) able to be added as a globally synced block with the ability to "detach" or customize (similar to Elementor global widgets)
The essential, simplest implementation of this request would be to make it possible to delete old Saved Items. Right now, they just accrue. If a change is made and a new version is saved, it would at least be helpful if the old one can be deleted.
