**Step 1: Finalize Your Email Design**

1. Design your email in the editor. Use tables to create the layout, add content, and style your email until it’s perfect.
2. Preview and test the email to ensure it looks great across different email clients.
3. Once you're happy with the email, **switch to the HTML view** to access the code.

**Step 2: Copy the Email HTML**

1. In the editor, locate the option to view the **HTML source code**. ("More Rich" > "Code View")\ <br>
