AMP form, new keyboard actions, updated Share feature, and what’s coming in July

This month’s updates help you collect data directly in emails, collaborate safely, and navigate faster — with AMP forms, smart keyboard shortcuts, and a reworked Share feature.

1. New: AMP form in the new editor

We’ve just added the AMP Form block to the new editor, allowing you to gather zero-party data your subscribers are happy to share, including:

• collecting feedback directly in the email;
• requesting contact details such as email and phone number (the latter to reach out to subscribers through other channels such as SMS);
• even running quick polls or quizzes.

Perfect for learning more about your audience. 

Don’t forget to add a fallback, as you would with any AMP content, so everyone has a smooth experience.

2. New: Keyboard shortcuts

Last month, we introduced the ability to select multiple templates or email messages using keyboard shortcuts, which is a real time-saver when working with many at once.

This month, we’ve taken it a step further: You can now copy (Ctrl + C/Ctrl + V) or move (Ctrl + X/Ctrl + V) templates between projects with ease, using just keyboard shortcuts.

Managing large sets of templates has never been simpler.

3. Improved: The Share feature

We’ve simplified and improved the Share feature.

In addition to sharing your news on social media or via email, you can now choose from four easy-to-use options:

1. Landing page view: Share your email as a standalone web page.
2. Expanded view: Share with desktop and mobile previews.
3. Collaborative view: Allow teammates to see real-time changes made to the email message/template and leave or view comments instantly.
4. Custom view: Set everything manually to match your needs.

In Custom view, you can configure the following:

• desktop/mobile preview: Show how the email looks across devices;
• copy and edit: Allow others to reuse your email and modules without changing the source email/template;
• live collaborative preview: Show real-time update to external users;
• anonymous comments: Allow feedback from anyone, even without a Stripo account;
• show source code: Display the HTML code behind the email;
• email client testing results: Share previews across 80+ clients and devices (if already tested);
• social sharing: Let anyone share your email on social networks;
• remove Stripo branding: Remove the "Built with Stripo" tag from the web version.

It’s now faster, easier, and more flexible than ever.

And that’s not all, here’s what’s coming next. We’re actively working on several features you’ve requested. These updates are in progress and will be rolled out soon to make your experience even smoother.

4. Coming soon: Annotated emails for the Promotions tab

We’re working on aligning our annotation code with Google’s latest updates to Annotation support in the Gmail Promotions tab. This means your emails will continue to show annotations right inside the inbox preview.

Here’s what’s new and what we’re updating to support:

1. Product pricing: You’ll be able to display both original and discounted prices in annotated emails – a great way to highlight special offers directly in the preview.
2. Flexible image ratios: Previously, all images in an annotated email had to follow the same ratio. Now, Google supports center-cropping, so you can use different image ratios, and Gmail will automatically adjust them for a clean look. (Consistent ratios are still recommended, but no longer mandatory.)
3. Custom product card order: Until now, annotated product cards were shown in the order in which they appeared in the email. With the new update, you can customize the display order, choosing which products appear first in the Promotions tab.
4. Custom subject line for annotations: You’ll also be able to set a subject line specifically for the annotation preview, which can differ from your actual email subject line, helping you tailor the promo snippet.

We’re expecting to roll these innovations out in July, fully aligned with Google’s updated requirements.

5. Coming soon: Dark mode in the editor

We had originally hoped to release these innovations in July, but after testing a range of dedicated tools and Chrome extensions, we realized there were a few more details we wanted to get perfect. The feature is now expected to go live in August.

Development has officially begun.

You’ll be able to preview and design emails in both light and dark modes using a simple toggle, similar to the one for mobile and desktop views, in line with the WYSIWYG concept.

This will allow you to see exactly how your emails will look in both light and dark modes while you're building them, helping you to identify issues early on and send designs that look great in any setting.

6. Coming soon: View Options in the email editing area

Remember when we shared the news about the new View Options menu in a previous issue? We're about 70% there and aim to roll out this innovation in July.

This feature will give you complete control over what you see while editing emails. Whether you're working with AMP or HTML, designing for mobile or desktop, or incorporating dynamic elements such as merge tags — you'll be able to focus on what really matters.

What you’ll be able to:

• switch between AMP, HTML, desktop, and mobile views;
• preview merge tags as raw data, labels, or final values;
• see which conditional elements are active.

7. Coming soon: Element locking for safer teamwork

We’re making great progress with delivering safer collaboration in the editor, just as we promised.

Element locking will allow users with elevated roles (for example, Owner, Admin, or Designer) to protect specific parts of an email, ensuring that only authorized users can edit those elements.

This feature is perfect for teams where designers or developers build the structure, and copywriters or marketers update the content later.

Here’s how it works:

• locking key elements: Stripes, structures, and containers can be locked (support for individual blocks is coming next). Locked sections can’t be changed or edited, and new elements can’t be dragged into them;
• permissions-based editing: Only users with editing rights can unlock or modify locked areas. Other users will see a helpful notification;
• visual indicators: Locked elements will have clear borders and a lock icon for easy recognition.

We expect to release this feature in July and will continue expanding it in upcoming updates.

8. Coming soon: Apple Pay and Google Pay

To make payments even more convenient and secure, we’re adding Google Pay and Apple Pay as new payment options. These methods will soon be available during checkout, giving you more flexibility when managing your subscription.

Wrapping up

We’ll be back next month with more updates, but if you want a sneak peek, our release notes are always up to date with the latest changes.
