These Contents can be reused across campaigns.

When talking about templates, we have the following options in Content Builder. In Content Builder, there are three types of default templates available for email creation. Creating emails using these templates helps to give a great look to mobile devices. There are six empty templates based on the most commonly used classic layouts. Under the primary tab, 20 basic templates are editable. Under the themed tab, 18 themed templates are also editable. Apart from all of these templates, we can also create templates from existing emails.

If we are creating an email message by the option of HTML code paste, the content builder provides many features which help to easy to make and edit the code. The auto-complete option for HTML tags saves time and reduces syntax errors. When we make any changes in the code, it can be seen instantly on the layout, which gives a clear picture of how the code works.
