2. From the Postcards dedicated page

2. Explore details about Postcards and launch the editor directly from there.

3. Via pre-made templates

4. Direct App Access

Going directly to designmodo.com/postcards/app/ will redirect you to the templates where you can:

• Start from a blank template to build from scratch.
• Browse through predefined templates and use filters (industry, usage, season, brand) to find the most relevant option.

See the template name and categories listed just under each template.

Hover over any template to reveal a circular button with three bubbles (···) and choose:

• Open → instantly open the template in the editor.
• Preview → check the template in full height and mobile view before editing.

Once you enter the Postcards editor, you’ll notice four main sections that help you build your email templates efficiently:

1. Top Bar Menu

The top bar contains key controls for managing your project:

• + Button (Add Content): Opens the left panel with modules ready to drag and drop into your canvas. By default, this panel is already active.
• Projects Button: Redirects to all your projects. For non-signed-in users, it only shows the current project. To manage multiple projects, you’ll need to sign up.
• Preview Button & Export Button: Disabled initially. You need at least one active module on your canvas to use them.
• Sign Up to Save Button: Prompts you to create an account. Without signing up, your current project cannot be saved and will be lost.

2. Left Panel (Modules)

This panel contains the types of content you can add to your email:

Basic Modules:

• Title, Subtitle, Text, Two Columns, Bullet List, Numbered List
• Logo, Icon, Menu, Custom Code, Group, Button, Two Buttons, Wide Button
• Image, Two Images, Link Menu, Text Footer, Separator, Video

Pre-Made / Complex Modules:

• Menu, Header, Content, Feature, Call-to-Action, E-Commerce, Transactional, Footer

These modules allow you to quickly build sections or use ready-made layouts for faster creation.

3. Canvas (Container)

The canvas is the main workspace where your email template comes to life.

• Drag modules from the left panel into the canvas.
• Arrange and structure your content visually.

4. Right Panel (Edit Content)

Click any element in your project to select it. Then, use the right panel to:

• Adjust parameters like font, colors, spacing, alignment, or borders.
• Customize each element’s appearance to match your design.

After adding the First Module

Once you drag and drop your first module onto the canvas, both the top bar menu and left panel will expand with new functionality.

Top Bar Menu Updates

New buttons will appear, giving you full control of your project:

• Save – save your current progress (requires sign-in).

2. Email Preview
