Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does each newsletter have a different URL?

Yes. Every newsletter has a unique URL that cannot be reused.

To keep the same URL, continue editing the same newsletter.
If you duplicate a newsletter, a new URL will be generated.

2. How do I save my changes?

Smore saves your work automatically five seconds after a change.

For best results: Use Google Chrome as your browser.
Edit in only one tab at a time.
Click “Done” after each section to ensure your edits are saved.
Once finished, press the “Publish Changes” button to update the published version.

3. Can I save my newsletter and continue editing later?

Yes! You can find all newsletters and drafts in your Newsletter Library and return to editing anytime.

4. What’s the difference between a draft and a published newsletter?

A draft is private and only visible to you until you publish it. Once you click “Publish Changes,” your newsletter becomes public, and you can share the link so others can view the latest version.

✨ That’s it! You’re ready to start creating and sharing beautiful newsletters with Smore.
