We've made it easier to link to your existing emails from the fancy editor.

Now when you add a link via the formatting bar (or with the new /link and ⌘K shortcuts), you can select and search from your newsletter's past emails.

Behind the scenes, these get inserted as special buttondown-email links, which keep working even if you change your newsletter domain or email slug.

While we were at it, we also made it simple to find and link to variables, such as your newsletter's manage subscription page (manage_subscription_url).

We hope this makes your drafting process even easier. And thanks, Mark, for the suggestion!

Buttondown is the last email platform you’ll switch to.
