Advanced editing: cloning and raw HTML

Edit the raw HTML for hand-built layouts, and what changes when you clone a built-in template.

HTML source mode

The template editor toolbar has an HTML source toggle. Switch to it to edit the markup directly. This helps with hand-built table layouts that do not survive the visual editor cleanly. Switching back re-parses what you typed, so keep the markup well-formed.

Landing pages cloned from the library, rather than built with the type picker, are always edited this way: raw HTML, plus a list of the named form fields found on the page.

What a cloned library item keeps

A template or landing page cloned from the library keeps the real links it already had to the brand it imitates, for example a genuine footer link to that company's privacy policy. That realism is part of what makes it convincing. Changing such a link to a different domain, or adding a new hardcoded link of your own, is checked by the same link-safety rules as anything else you write. See Link safety in templates and landing pages under Security and access for the full explanation.
