    Only email templates created from the email template builder are available for selection.

5. To add components and customize your content, click **Edit in Builder**.
    - To try out the new content builder, select **New email experience**. To learn more, see [Create Content in Marketing Cloud Growth](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=mktg.mktg_content_create.htm&language=en_US).
    - To continue using the standard Enhanced Email builder, select **Existing email experience**.
6. Drag a component from the list to the canvas where you want it to appear.
    
    An editing pane opens where you can add content and style fields.
7. After you add your content, save your work.

To work with the text-only version of your email, edit the email content record. In the Text Body field, enter new text, or click **Sync from HTML** to use the text that you added in the builder.
