Editing & Updating Saved Blocks

I too was looking forward to this update. But now i see that the new template editor is not connected with the asset library or any of the original saved blocks. In order to use the new interface & benefit from the new features, every single email needs to be rebuilt from scratch.

This is not great.

Every email in every flow of every client account… Ouch.

I realise that lines must be drawn when launching new systems, but not including integrations to existing image libraries or saved blocks renders this new editor completely useless as we cannot justify the time or expense in rebuilding entire systems for clients who see no change on their end.

I implore you to please look at integration of at least saved blocks across the two editors, then we can save images etc & migrate them across to the new editor.

PAINFULLY having to go through EVERY email! This should be a a easy update and one as a priority. I also think, instead of making just one small black a Block. You should also be able to save a set of blocks together, and like you said when changed it globally be changed. For example: I have the same set of footer for my sales emails, brand emails, affiliate emails, etc. So instead of having to build a Sales Email Footer with 5 blocks, can just use the one SALES FOOTER BLOCK, which when and if its edited, changes GLOBALLY! This is so huge of a change! Would love this! 

Hi @squatch19, @alans, @NStrand711 and others following the thread,

I understand this is a hot topic and I thank you all for your patience while I confirmed information internally on the status of the editor updates. I wanted to ensure I relayed accurate information to you all.

First, on the issue of accessing previously saved blocks, we will be offering forwards compatibility for this feature starting Q1 of 2022. Meaning, any saved blocks from the old editor will be accessible in the new editor. However, any saved blocks from the new editor will not be compatible with the old editor. 

Second, we will release access to the current template library for use in the new editor, also starting Q1 2022.

Lastly, the function to have changes made to one saved block apply to other templates (what we call Universal Content) will be rolled out in the same (Q1 2022) timeframe.

I understand not having access to these features at this very moment can be frustrating. Our goal with the initial release was to get our users comfortable using the new editor and testing things out in a benign fashion (not to disrupt any current holiday plans or prep for BFCM). We are working hard to provide transparency and ensure that the remaining features are rolled out promptly while also providing the most value to Klaviyo users. 

I hope that update was valuable for you all and helps clears up any lingering concerns. We are looking forward to seeing you all build great things and succeed with the new editor :) 

Just wanted to chime in and say how important this is as well. Really need a way to edit/delete saved blocks. 

Hi there, joining in to emphasize the importance of this!

@Dov thanks for that last update! You mentioned Q1 of 2022.. might you have a more honed-in idea of when this feature may be rolling out?
Thanks so much!

Helena

Hi Helena! (@mintMONGOOSE Jewelry Sub)

Thank you for your question. I understand this feature has been pushed back to next quarter. The team is working hard to ensure that this release is in tip-top shape for everyone to use and enjoy.

I will post an update when it becomes available. In the meantime, thank you all for hanging in there, we know everyone is excited for the launch :)

Thanks for the swift reply @Dov! Looking forward to it!

Hi, 

I am assessing a move to Klaviyo and wanted more news if possible on this feature of being able to edit a saved section at one place and have it modified everywhere.

This feature has become a standard in most website editors (like weblow..)

That would be a decision maker for us.

Many thanks in advance

Lastly, the function to have changes made to one saved block apply to other templates (what we call Universal Content) will be rolled out in the same (Q1 2022) timeframe.

Hi @Ant777,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes this feature is in the works and is currently in limited release (we’re testing it out with a select group of clients). Stay tuned for the full release, I will announce an update once that becomes available.
