Ok, that's what I was trying to find out. I really hope that Constant Contact evolves its view on the idea of having templates. This is not a very mature implementation of what should be a very important feature.

William - Please reread the steps that I carefully outlined for you. I am editing the template from the Campaigns list. Based on your previous reply, my expectation was that by simply editing the template and saving the change, any subsequent emails that I create from that saved template will have the most recent updates. That's not what I'm seeing. If I do the "Save as Template" step after editing the template, I then have a second copy of the template - which I'd prefer not to have because then I have to do version control. Believe me, I want to believe that you are correct in that I only have to edit a campaign that's set as a template in order to see the most recent updates. However, that's not what I'm seeing. Am I explaining myself clearly?

Hi again, Let me recap my steps to see if I'm not doing something that you are assuming I'm doing. 1. Campaigns > Create (with the intent of creating a reusable template) 2. Edit, design, test, SAVE 3. Click the ... menu and select "Save as Template" (the template is in DRAFT mode) Now I'll create an email on the template 4. Campaigns > Create > Email > Saved Templates tab > Select my template 5. Edit, design, test, SAVE Now I want to update my template 1. Campaigns > Select the template from the list 2. Edit, SAVE I am NOT doing the "Save as Template" step again because that will create a new copy of the template. Based on your previous reply, I'm thinking that I shouldn't have to do the "Save as Template" again. Now i want to create a new email using the updated template Campaigns > Create > Email > Saved Templates tab > Select my updated template ** PROBLEM ** I am seeing the original version of the template, not the updated one.

Hi William, Would you please expound upon your statement "you can just edit the template on its own."? What exactly do you. mean by that? Is there a menu option to navigate to Templates > Edit that I'm not seeing?

Hi Community! I'm trying to make the transition from how CC handles templates compared to my former email tool. I understand how the process starts out by creating an email - generically, no real content - and then saving that as a template. Got it. When I wanted to update my template, here's what I did: 1. Create a new email from the saved template 2. Edit the "email" 3. Save the "email" 4. Use the "Save as Template" to get it into the list of (my) saved templates 5. Find the previous version of the now updated template 6. Delete the previous version of the template Is that how you manage template updates in CC?
