Problem

Teams repeat the same headers, footers, legal blocks, PS, and promos across many emails. Updates are manual and error-prone.

Proposal

Add Sections to Emails (parity with Websites/Funnels):

Global Sections: single source of truth; edits sync to all emails using them.

Local Sections: detached copies editable per email.

Template Sections: saved blocks for quick insert (no auto-sync).

UX

New “Sections” library under Marketing → Emails.

Insert panel: Global / Local / Template tabs.

Badge + tooltip shows section ID and last updated.

“Convert to Local” and “Re-link to Global” actions.

Controls & Safety

Draft → Publish workflow for Global updates.

Scoped permissions (view/use/edit/publish).

Version history with one-click rollback.

Dependency list: where a Global Section is used.

Tech Notes

Section entity with type, content_json, version, usage_map.

Rendering resolves Global by section_id at send/build time.

API: CRUD for sections; bulk re-link; diff preview.

Benefits

Consistency, faster production, fewer compliance misses.

Success Metrics

↓ build time/email, ↓ content drift, ↑ reuse rate.
