How To Work With Layouts

Layouts combine multiple templates together. That makes them great for:

• Building Below The Fold content that consists of multiple template images
• Organizing banner ads / banner sizes that belong to the same campaign
• Creating HTML based email or web pages that consist of multiple graphics and text areas
