Moving from v1 to v2
Overview
Several months of work were dedicated to ensuring a smooth transition to version 2 of the editor for users of version 1 of the tool.
While many precautions were taken to ensure that any issues would be minimized, there are still a few scenarios in which some conversion problems may arise. This document attempts to highlight them, and suggests possible solutions.
Message conversion
When you open a message that was created with v1 of the editor, the following will happen:
- An HTML copy of the original version of the message will be created. This HTML copy cannot be edited with the drag-n-drop editor, but can be used with the WYSIWYG editor.
- The original version of the message will be converted to the format used by the new editor.
- The new editor will open, loading that converted version of the message.
