We've completely redesigned the template editor — the tool template developers use to build and maintain email templates in Better Email.

Modern code editor​

The code editing experience has been rebuilt with a professional-grade editor featuring a dark theme, syntax highlighting, and proper line wrapping. Writing HTML and Liquid code is now significantly more comfortable, especially for longer editing sessions.

Liquid tags highlighted in orange​

Liquid template tags now stand out visually in the editor with distinct orange highlighting. This makes it much easier to spot dynamic content, conditionals, and variables at a glance — especially in templates with a mix of HTML and Liquid logic.

Smarter component selection​

Components are now accessible through a streamlined dropdown instead of the previous panel layout. Switching between components is faster and leaves more screen real estate for the code editor itself.

Preview in a separate window​

You can now pop out the email preview into its own window. This is especially useful if you have multiple monitors — keep the code on one screen and the live preview on another.

Liquid key context​

The editor is now aware of the Liquid keys and variables available in your template. This helps reduce typos and makes it easier to work with complex templates that use many custom variables.

Other fixes and improvements:

  • Fixed save state persistence when switching between components
  • Improved modal behavior after creating new templates
  • Various styling and layout refinements
