I love the new third generation editor however i don't see any way to indent a line. Am I missing something? Can this editing function be added? Tab key does not work either... So that's not an option.
Thank you!

This is a HUGE flaw in this editor??!! I cannot fathom why you would not include that right from the start? Indents are key for designing the flow of a newsletter in my opinion. Hope you get this added to the editor SOON otherwise I may be looking elsewhere for other options!
Hey @SSJD,
I absolutely understand your concerns. In the meantime I do have a workaround for you. You can simply add an indent by clicking your dash key (-). You can then highlight all of the dashes that you add and make them the same color as the background of your email so that they blend in.
I know that this is not ideal but it is something that I would suggest trying while we address that feature request. Please let us know if you have additional questions and have a great rest of your day!
I've been looking for a solution to this for months. This is an AWFUL workaround / hack / solution for this basic issue. Please pass the word to the developers that this simple issue should be a priority to resolve.
Hello @DarrenH664,
Thank you for reaching out to us. We do understand that this workaround is not ideal, we apologize for the inconvenience. The feedback has been passed along to the correct department. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.
Is there going to be a reliable option for this? And there is a lot that is harder to do with the updates.
This is ridiculous.
The is a profoundly unwise solution knowing how this is counter to everything else CC is doing to make your emails mobile responsive. I think the problem is that small people with big egos are driving product development at CC. I would drop Constant Contact in a heartbeat (I already have for some clients) if it wasn't for your integration with other services that I use.
Who did you switch to with your clients? I am seriously looking to change, this is ridiculous, especially now that they took away the ability to copy legacy campaigns I am stuck with this less than adequate editor.
Except it auto bullets and you cant change the color. Ideas?
Totally agree! I need my indents!
That's exactly the problem I'm having too! Indenting is vital for me (as a non-graphic designer) to break up the space and make reading easier. I vote for an "indent" functionality.
Thank you for your feedback, @JoshD36! I've let our developers know that you're also looking for this feature!
Going to suggest this is put in as well.
This is really a key feature that needs to be there.
Hello @KayH68,
Thanks for your feedback! I absolutely see the utility in that feature. I'll make sure to add your voice to the request!
I can't believe you have created an editor with no way to indent!!!
Thank you for reaching out to the Community! I apologize this feature is not currently available. We really appreciate your specific feedback on how this feature can be improved. It's great insight for our developers to review as they map out future updates for the product.
I have tracked it in your account for them to see. I also encourage you to check out our Feedback area of the Community where you can post any additional feedback you have and chime in with other customers sharing their ideas.
Ditto, it's been almost a year. Give us back line indent!
Hi @CynthiaM479
Thanks for reaching out in the Community. I've tracked your feedback on your account and sent to the appropriate teams for review.
Thanks!
Add my name to the list. Paragraphs shouldn't take a year to implement on an e-mail service.
Using several spaces would count as a fix, but the service deletes redundant spaces.
Came here to find the answer to the same problem. Please add a way to indent.
Hello @ShanaJ97,
Thank you for your feedback! I will definitely submit this over to our engineers for review. Have a wonderful Wednesday!
This is a very unfortunate oversight on behalf of Constant Contact. I need to use a blockquote feature in ALMOST EVERY EMAIL I SEND OUT. Not having this ability is very crippling and there has been nothing done about it to my knowledge.
Yes - I agree totally! Have been needing the indent for a long time. Please fix this soon!
