# February 18, 2026 - New email composer

Batch is introducing a new email composer, designed to make email creation and editing simpler and more efficient. With a more modern and intuitive interface, it aims to provide a smoother experience and greater flexibility when building email campaigns.

Before diving into the details, one important point: **no action is required on your part.** All existing features are preserved, and your current templates remain accessible, editable, and reusable.

#### What’s included

**Centralized URL parameters (UTM)**\
URL parameters can be defined once per email and are automatically appended to every link, helping ensure consistent tracking without repetitive manual work.\

**Easier pre-header management**\
Pre-headers can be added and edited directly from the email composer, making it easier to control how emails appear in inbox previews.\

**Desktop and mobile editing**\
Email editing is available in both desktop and mobile views. Users can switch instantly between views using a dedicated toggle and make real-time adjustments for mobile directly in the editor.

**Real-time collaboration**\
The new email composer makes collaboration easier by allowing multiple users to work on the same email at the same time.\
Team members can also leave comments directly in the composer, helping teams review content, share feedback, and align on changes without leaving Batch.

#### Additional improvements

This update also includes Google email annotations and other interface improvements that contribute to a more flexible and collaborative email creation experience.\

The new composer will be rolled out automatically. No action is required as the transition is seamless. Emails created with the previous composer open normally in the new one, with the same structure, content, and behavior.
