Rich Text Editor updates coming soon with early access enrollment taking place now

Erinda Ylli

We’re excited to announce some big upgrades to our Rich Text Editor!

If you create content in Act-On, you’re no doubt familiar with our various text editors. We’re updating these for greater functionality, consistency, and efficiency. Take a look! 

Look and Feel

  • Clean, modern design
  • Many icons redone for greater clarity

 

Enhanced Experience

  • White font support – Define a background color in the composer to see any light font color in the editor
  • Tables – Use familiar table formatting options to add/remove/resize columns, cells, and rows with a single click

 

New Features

  • Image Editing – Crop, resize, flip, or rotate an inserted image without leaving the editor

 

  • URL Link Checker - Need to triple check that a link is valid? Click one button and skip the multiple test sends!

 

  • Find and Replace - Quickly adjust words or format in bulk without needing to copy/paste to another application

 

We’re confident that these changes will make content management tasks easier and more efficient in the platform. But we’d love to hear your feedback – see below.

 

Cheers,

Erinda

    This looks great! Does it also solve any padding issues which might occur when placing pictures with a bigger pixel with then the mail is wide? 

    Does the Find and Replace work for a whole email? Or just the selected text block?

    We would like the early access as well!

    Hi Jesper Luijten

    Find & Replace applies only to the text block. I'll follow up with you over email to give you access to the updated RTE and discuss the padding question.

     

    Thank you!

    The white font support & image editing sound interesting, presume our contractor provided templates will be launched with the upgraded editor at the same time.
