[More Updates] New Email Editor for Marketo Engage is now live!

[Sreekanth_Reddy]

 

Hello Everyone!

By now, most of you already know that we have launched the editor and its enablement to all Marketo customers (who have already migrated to IMS) from Feb 5th, 2025.

Here are the highlights you can find in Part 2 of the new designer blog series (in case you missed the first one - Check here)

1. New features that we added
2. Join the challenge to shape what's next

New features

Content Locking

Now you can lock specific sections in an email template. Now this supports just locking the full template but also specific sections of the email template. You can even partially lock the content too (eg: allow editing the content but not the structure)

 

Parameterized Fragments

Fragments are reusable content blocks that can be created centrally and inserted into your Emails and Email Templates. 

Not only these are reusable content blocks, you can even parameterize the content inside fragments that can be edited inside an email where this fragment is being used. 

Are you asking yourself - "How fragments are different from Snippets?"

Let me answer that: With the new email editor, we introduced parameterized/customizable fragments, replacing snippets for modular content management. Here’s how they compare:

Feature	Snippets (current Editor)	Fragments (New Editor)
Usage	Used only in the current email editor	Designed for the new email editor
Customization	Static—cannot be edited within the email	Fully customizable within each email
Content	Limited to predefined content	Supports flexible, modular content blocks
Dynamic Capabilities	Can be used with dynamic content	Can be used with conditional content (coming soon)

Key Takeaway:
If you're using the new email editor, fragments provide greater flexibility, allowing you to edit content directly in an email while maintaining consistency across emails. Snippets are still available in the current editor but cannot be used in the new experience.

 

AEM Assets Integration

Activate your AEM Assets license inside your Marketo Engage instance and use images directly from AEM Assets while designing your Emails or Email Templates. These images always stay referenced and get updated automatically if the respective image is updated in AEM Assets.

Hi @Sreekanth_Reddy, could we create local asset using drag and drop feature in Marketing activities?

Hello!

I can't seem to access these meta data anymore. This section is always greyed out after an email was once approved. Both in Design Studio and in an Email Program. I tried to unpublish the email again, but that wasn't possible because "email is in use". Yet, it isn't, as the "Used By" section clearly states.

Velocity works btw. I believe I had read that it wasn't supposed to function right now, but in fact it does.

Are we meant to be able to control access? I saw this in the admin, but our email users can already see and create using the new designer

[Sreekanth_Reddy]

HEy @Michael_Florin , I think you are looking at the published version of the email. If you create a draft version by clicking on "edit email content" button it will create a draft version and you will be able to edit the meta data.

@Sreekanth_Reddy Thanks for your quick response!

And yes, could be. But I don't see it.
