​Video is like rocket fuel for your emails. Now you can embed videos from YouTube, Vimeo, or Wistia (or directly upload your own) right in your emails. Depending on the inbox provider, your fans can play the video right inside the email, or they'll see a nifty animated preview and a direct link to your full video.

To try this out, click the 'plus' sign right inside the email editor, and select Video.

Say you’ve created a sequence with five emails—you want to add more emails down the road, but you’re not quite ready yet. Now you can hold subscribers at the end of a sequence so they receive any new emails you add in the future. This is great news for creators with evergreen newsletters, or who want to add content to email courses over time, and more.

To try this out, go to Settings inside any sequence, and find this setting under Sequence Behavior.
