It would be great to have the ability to edit a web version of an e-mail that has been sent/published. Being able to correct copy or a link after hitting send would be a valuable feature, and I know I would appreciate having that option, if needed.

Also, the ability to unpublish the web version after the fact would be another great feature. I know we can set the expiration but that’s in the layout stage. Thanks!

Hi @marausa, thanks for posting your idea! For the moment there are no plans to introduce editing of the web version post-send as these are technically one in the same. The web version isn’t a copy of the email, it’s just the email itself hosted on a sharable URL. We’d want to make sure that even if a visitor came back to view an email some time after it was sent, that the web version they could visit would match the content in their inbox.

Regarding your second suggestion though, being able to unpublishing the web version, this is something that we’d definitely be interested in looking into. Going to keep this post open for others to provide feedback/upvotes on and keep an eye on it from our side. Thanks again for providing your feedback!

I would agree. The option to edit or delete the web version would be useful.

It would also help to be able to update links after a send, even if we can’t edit the other text.

Bumping this, I’m actually running into an issue where some emails we sent nearly a decade ago have mixed HTTP/HTTPS content and are being crawled and throwing errors.

Maybe it would be great to edit the web versión and show a message informing that the version shown is different from the original.

+1; this feature is needed. Mistakes happen, and having the ability to fix a link or typo in the web version of an email would not harm the customer experience so long as there’s a little note about an edit having happened and what that edit was, similar to how edits can be made on Facebook posts.

Agreed! Not being able to edit the web version is annoying to say the least, and a disclaimer note would alleviate any concerns regarding the web version matching the email content.

I’d really like to be able to delete/unpublish webversion of emails that were not set to expire in the original send.

Thanks, we needed this feature today, to be able to edit the web version.

I think this would be a great addition to future HubSpot updates. Like the CTA, once could be able to replace or change images as well using some mechanism. This will allow one to update the content and context on the fly, so its all replaced and updated using, say, “dynamic content module” - including, text, images, CTAs, etc. We have all been there, where content/context need to be updated due to internal requirements - only after the email was released!  
I think this would be a great addition to future HubSpot updates. But, using “dynamic content module” could be a solution for adoption and ease of use.

I currently find that I need to change the body content of the web version of a published email. OR I need to change the expiration date of said email (which luckily I put in place). But I can do neither. So, the current work around is to stop pointing people to that email all together. I’ll have to publish the information elsewhere or do another email with the new information and create a new web version.

Thankfully this now incorrect email will expire soon and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you are creating web versions of emails that you ALWAYS set them to expire.

This needs to seriously be a feature and available to do. It is blocking new web pages from being published with the same URL.
