Designer Studio (Pre-2022 Legacy)

Updated 2 years ago by Laura Goepel

Pre-2022 templates were built using our legacy HTML syntax. This article is for you if your tags are in $tag; format.

Designer Studio houses your signature templates. The signature templates are designed in HTML. Don't worry if you aren't familiar with HTML, we provide your initial signature templates during onboarding.

Check in Signature Assignments (Signature drop down > Signature Assignments) to see which signatures are LIVE. Use caution when editing a live signature. We recommend Cloning before editing and using the Preview button before pressing Save.
