On March 17th, we released a few minor (and really useful) updates to the admin tools. You may now ...
You can now find the database ID number for content in the following tools:
These shortcuts will make it much faster to use the tools. The Edit by ID functionality available for many tools allows you to quickly jump into the content, make your changes, and move on to the next item of your To Do list.
Curious where the Edit by ID functionality is? Look for the "Edit by ID" link in the navigation or you can enter the ID number directly into the relevant tool's Search form to return that content in the results.
If your site is integrated with an audience database, circulation management or fulfillment system (such as Knowledge Marketing, Multipub, Hallmark or Omeda) and uses our Legacy ID field to hold the circulation vendors database ID number for the user, this formerly read-only field is now available to be edited.

and last, but not least ...

Opening the rendering options to your team grants you the ability to re-use an existing newsletter template for a new newsletter without help from our team. We will be updating our Knowledge Base articles in the coming weeks to give you basic steps. What you can update in your newsletter is highly customized to individual sites.
BUT
This means you can change your newsletter immediately, and without extra costs. You can also create a new newsletter based on the rendering option values. Make sure to use all of the rendering options from the original newsletter, and just change the values indicated by your PM or any custom documentation provided by us for your site's newsletters.
