Quick summary

This tutorial shows how to back up SendGrid templates to local storage by exporting them as HTML files directly from the Design Library editor. Teams managing email campaigns can use this method to preserve template versions and safeguard their work outside of SendGrid.

Steps

On SendGrid's main dashboard, navigate to the left-side panel and click Design Library.
Browse your template collection, hover over the template you want to back up, and click its Edit button.
Inside the editor, go to the left-side panel and click the Build tab.
Select Advanced from the list of available options.
Click the Export button next to Export HTML to download a copy of the email template to your device in HTML format.

📌 Why this matters

Backing up SendGrid email templates to local storage protects your email designs from accidental deletion, account issues, or platform outages. By exporting templates as HTML files, marketing and development teams can version-control their email assets, reuse designs across platforms, and maintain a reliable offline archive. This workflow is essential for any team that relies on SendGrid for transactional or marketing email campaigns and wants to ensure business continuity and design consistency.
