How to sync an email from Litmus Builder to Campaign Monitor

Select which one you want and then hit the Sync button. Once the sync is set up, you'll see a link directly to your synced email in Campaign Monitor. After that, you only need to save your work in your Builder project and it will automatically update in the synced version in Campaign Monitor.
