      Could you please enhance your description by explaining how blocks are working in the content studio? We are in a process of upgrade from 1511 to 1611 and in the 1511 version blocks were not introduced yet.

      Hi Maris,

      Please find info about the block concept in the links mentioned above in chapter "Further information" and see the application help in http://help.sap.com/mkt:

      Design a Personalized Email or Email Template in http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mkt124/helpdata/en/d7/c797547d6fe231e10000000a4450e5/content.htm?frameset=/en/d7/c797547d6fe231e10000000a4450e5/frameset.htm&current_toc=/en/b7/a51586b7114f599b0decbc3ca4e0cb/plain.htm&node_id=220&show_children=false
