This improvement to Marketing Pro Autopilot lets you replace the default image on any Autopilot campaign with your own photo, so your emails match your brand and the moment you are marketing to.
What's changing?
Before this improvement, the only way to change an image in an Autopilot campaign was to open the Advanced Builder and edit in the Email Template Editor. Now, you can simply hover over any Autopilot campaign in the library, click the swap button, and upload a new image directly from your desktop. If you change your mind, a one-click Revert to Original option restores the default image instantly.
