Compare template versions

With email template versioning, you can effortlessly compare template versions, as well as revert back to previous versions. You can easily access and compare elements such as subject lines, preheaders, tags, shared assets, recommendation blocks, and more across versions. You can also identify versions that were used to send messages to customers.

Each time a change is made to an email template, Blueshift automatically saves the latest version.

Add notes for each version

When you save a template, you can add notes of the updates that were made to each saved version. The change summary that you provide here is displayed on the Properties tab of the template editor.

When you compare two versions, your notes are readily available so that you or your team members can easily understand the changes that were made.

To add a change summary, click the drop-down button next to Save.
