Do this by selecting from the available 'Merge Tags' in the text box of your campaign.
Editing a template
Once you select this option, make any of the necessary changes to your template and then click the 'Save Changes' button at the top right.

You can then edit the template and save it.
Deleting a template
Deleting a template will permanently delete the template from your list of templates for every User.
Please ensure you are deleting the correct template before you go ahead and delete any templates.
