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

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