Why does the email editor say it needs a bigger screen?

Open Emails

The editor opens from any draft.

Short answer

Your window is too narrow for the email you’re editing and the room the editor needs around it, and nothing is lost. Widen the window, turn a tablet sideways, or open Jounce on a desktop, and the editor is where you left it.

The editor shows an email at the width it’s sent, with a little room around it. A narrow window can’t fit both. Your work is saved as you go, so nothing is lost.

The message reads This editor needs a bigger screen. Your work is saved as you go — open Jounce on a desktop to keep editing. It covers the editor while the window is too narrow.

The fix

  • On a laptop or desktop, widen the browser window. The message goes away and the editor is exactly where you left it.
  • On a tablet, turn it sideways. Landscape is usually wide enough.
  • On a phone, open the same email on a computer. Your Emails page, the calendar, the send steps, and your audience all work on a phone. Only the editor needs the width.

A change that was saving when the message appeared is still on its way. See How the editor saves your work.
