You can now switch to a different template right inside the Email Builder. There's no need to exit the builder and start again. Just open the Template Library, browse the designs, and apply another template to your current email. If your email already has content, ZipLeads asks you to confirm before replacing it. This guide shows you how to switch templates, apply a new design, and what happens to your existing content.
