Where things moved in the new campaign editor (Essential Preorder app)
We rearranged the preorder campaign editor in October 2026. Every setting is still there. Your saved campaigns did not change. This page shows where each setting lives now.
The four tabs
The old editor had three tabs: Preorder products, Content, Design. The new one has four, and the new Content tab holds less than the old one: only the texts. Each setting is now a card. Click a card title to open it. The pill on the right shows the card's current value.
| Tab | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Offer | The rules of the deal: status and schedule, payment, discount amount, markets, sales channels, fulfilment status, mixed carts, tags, campaign title, selling plan. |
| Content | Every text the shopper sees: button text, preorder message, payment text, badge text, strike-through price toggle, cart and checkout labels, translations. |
| Design | How it looks: button colours and sizes, badge colours, theme price colours, style presets and font. |
| Preorder products | Unchanged. Which products and variants are in the campaign, and the inventory rule. Now the last tab. |
Offer tab. The tabs are now Offer, Content, Design, Preorder products.
