**Your software**  
My Mautic version is: 3.3.1  
My PHP version is: 7.3  
My Database type and version is:

GrapeJS is very intersting, and goodlooking builder.

I tried to enable this plugin, and when I opened the email that I created from old builder, it has problem.

All text is show up on grapejs builder, but cannot edit or copy.  
when I check HTML structure, that is identified as box comment

GrapeJS is very good for new email created…

but there any way to convert from old to grapejs builder …?

thanks

@ekatronik you need refresh browser after plugin activation  
Old emails edit in legacy builder due BC.  
New and switched theme in edit mode use already GrapeJs.  
If course there are just few email templates.

As I understand it, to edit old themed emails, you need to use the legacy builder. It should load that automatically when editing.

Did you modify your config.json files to allow using the GrapeJS builder?
