Section groups let you combine multiple sections in the newsletter editor so they move, hide, and delete together as one unit.
Use section groups in Seguno Email Marketing when you want related sections, such as a QR code and a text block, to stay organized as a set instead of managing them one at a time.
Quick summary
A section group is a container that holds two or more sections in the sections list.
Hiding, reordering, or deleting a group applies to every section nested inside it.
Group names are for editor organization only. They don't appear in the sent email.
Add a section group
Click Add section.
Under Layout, select Section group.
Click Add.
The section group appears in the sections list, marked with an up-and-down arrow icon.
Add sections to a group
In the sections list, drag an existing section onto the section group.
The section nests inside the group and appears indented, with a colored line connecting it to the group. Repeat this step to add more sections to the same group.
Tip:
Group sections that you would always want to show, hide, or move together, such as a discount callout paired with its supporting image.
Rename a section group
Click the section group to open its settings panel.
Enter a name in the Name field. The name can be up to 80 characters.
The default name is "Section group." You can rename it to something more descriptive, such as "Scan to save promo."
Note:
A section group's name only organizes sections in the editor. It has no effect on the rendered email, and subscribers never see it.
Reorder a section group
Click and hold the drag handle (2 dots x 3 dots icon),
Drag and release the section group to a new position
Hide or show a section group
In the sections list, hover over the section group and click the eye icon to hide it.
Hiding a group hides every section nested inside it, and the group appears grayed out in the list.
Click the icon again to show the group and its nested sections.
Duplicate a section group
Click the section group to open its settings panel.
Click Duplicate section.
Remove or delete a section group
Click the section group to open its settings panel, or click the trash icon on the group in the sections list.
Click Remove section (or the trash icon) to open the confirmation dialog.
In the dialog, select Remove only group to delete the group but keep its sections in the list, or select Delete entire group to permanently delete the group and every section nested inside it.
Click Cancel to close the dialog without making changes.
Warning:
Delete entire group permanently deletes the group and every section nested inside it. Select Remove only group instead if you only want to ungroup the sections without deleting their content.
