    1. Can we create shortcuts or unique urls to email template folders for specific sections and branches to bookmark?
      No matter what you'd still have to login first to go to anything you've bookmarked


    2. What is the difference between types of links and how do we set them up/configure them?

    3. Can newsletters be archived or saved as PDFs?

    Once you click on a web version of a mailing you can right click and "print to pdf" on your computer and save that locally

    4. Can emails be viewed in a browser/web page? How do we configure that? How long do those pages "live"

    Yes, hyperlink to "web version" of this mailing

    5. Segmenting – this was more relevant before a/b send to winner.  Customers would create subsets of target groups to do their own a/b split testing.  Now it's not as relevant because you have A/B testing
