How to Use the Mail Designer Pinning Tool

The Mail Designer pinning tool keeps design elements anchored inside an image area while you edit or resize an email layout. Use it when a headline, logo, badge, or button must stay aligned to the top, center, or bottom of its layout block across different newsletter sizes.

Find the pinning controls

Select the design element you want to position. In the app sidebar, open the Style options and find the pin control. The visual selector shows the available anchor points and makes it clear where the element will remain fixed inside the image area.

Choose the right anchor position

Choose the center anchor when an element should remain centered as the image area changes size. This works well for centered logos, product badges, and short calls to action.

Choose the top anchor for titles, headings, or labels that must keep a consistent distance from the upper edge. The element stays at the top even when you resize the surrounding layout block.

Choose the bottom anchor for captions, price labels, or buttons that should remain close to the lower edge of an image area.

Check the result before sending

After pinning an element, resize the image area and confirm that its position remains correct. Preview both desktop and mobile versions of the email, especially when text wraps differently or an image area becomes narrower. If the element moves unexpectedly, select it again and verify that the intended anchor point is active.

The Mail Designer pinning tool controls placement inside the selected image area; it does not lock an entire layout block on the page. Test the finished design in the Mail Designer preview and send a test email before publishing your campaign.
