Where are the Thumbnail Previews on the Email Page?

New look doesn't seem to show the campaign thumbnails on the list of campaigns. Big negative!

Hello, As a fellow UI designer, I have some suggestions to improve the usability of the site. 1. While you were trying to create a "friendly" new design, it feels overly simplified and dumbed down. I had trouble finding the old design mode, now a toggle button called "Advanced". Its placement in the top right corner does not make sense. It should be located on top of the design functions. 2. On the campaigns screen, there is no longer a thumbnail of the campaigns. This is really helpful especially when a lot of campaigns are similar. 3. Design tools: it would be really helpful to have two campaigns open at the same time to be able to replicate the design, copy fields, etc. 4. Design tools: when choosing a fill color, sometimes I use variations of the same color, so it's hard to tell which recent color to match. How about hovering over the recent colors with their Hexadecimal value? It would also be great to have a color dropper for quick color matches. 5. Advanced design tools: it is hard to tell which fields are affected sometimes... as if I'm supposed to know the names of all the fields when making changes. What if the area of the original template thumbnail was highlighted when you clicked on that design field, ie. Featured Header, Featured Content. It would also be nice to know if my current design is using those fields... perhaps check marked? Or non-used fields are somehow grayed out but usable. Thank you, Kristy

I operate two different Constant Contact accounts and only one account has a new look. The new look is difficult to navigate, especially among sent emails. Thumbnails of sent emails are hugely helpful and I'm sorry we don't have the option to see them anymore.

Thanks for posting this feedback! Did you use the thumbnails to find a specific email you are looking for or for something else?

The Campaign overview screen has a lot of wasted space and doesn't provide key needed info.  So few campaigns are listed you have to scroll and scroll and scroll down.  Irritating.

 

I can't tell what template is used for which campaign so it's tedious to try to find the right one to try to base a new email on... i.e. a brief update on a simple template or a complex newsletter on a multi-column template.

 

Thumbnail images of the campaigns are needed or at least be able to name the TEMPLATE used, not just the campaign name.
