Getting Started
Get oriented in the Leadpush drag-and-drop builder before you start editing content, structure, or theme settings.
Template Studio is designed as a full-screen editing workspace. The goal is to keep structure, styling, previewing, and publishing in one place so you do not need to jump between multiple dashboard screens while building email content.

Where Template Studio appears
You will usually enter Template Studio from a dashboard record that uses the current visual builder, such as a v2 layout.
When the builder opens, the surrounding dashboard navigation is minimized so the editor has more room for the canvas and supporting panels.
The main areas of the editor
The builder is organized around five main surfaces:
- Toolbar for undo, redo, change history, viewport switching, preview, publish, and more actions
- Canvas for direct drag-and-drop editing
- Layers panel for navigating the document tree and jumping to specific blocks
- Right sidebar for blocks, assets, page settings, theme controls, and selected-block settings
- Settings popover for editor preferences such as appearance, select-on-drop, local draft persistence, and restarting the tour
Use the guided tour
Template Studio includes a built-in guided tour for first-time use. It walks through the toolbar, preview action, canvas, Layers panel, issue filters, sidebar tabs, and publish action.
If you already completed the tour and want to see it again, open the editor settings and use Restart Tour.
Switch between desktop and mobile editing
The toolbar includes a viewport toggle for Desktop and Mobile.
Use Desktop while building broad structure such as containers, rows, and section order. Switch to Mobile before publishing so you can confirm stacking, spacing, and readability on a smaller viewport.
The preview experience has its own desktop and mobile toggle as well, so you can check both the live canvas width and the compiled output.
What happens when you publish
Publish saves the current builder document and the compiled output for the dashboard record you are editing.
That means Template Studio is not just a mock editor. Once you publish, Leadpush treats that version as the saved content for the underlying record.
Best practices
- Start with layout structure before fine-tuning theme or spacing.
- Use the Layers panel early instead of hunting for deeply nested blocks on the canvas.
- Check both desktop and mobile before publishing.
- Restart the guided tour when onboarding a teammate who is new to the builder.
Next step
Continue to Working on the Canvas and Layers when you are ready to move from editor orientation into the day-to-day document workflow.
