# Footers

> Learn how to edit the footer of your emails

Every campaign and workflow email sent by Loops contains a footer, which includes your company name, address and an unsubscribe link.

## Footer content

Email footers are required for deliverability and anti-spam compliance. They must include three elements:

* Your company name
* Your company address
* An unsubscribe link

### Unsubscribe link

Unsubscribe links help prevent your messages from being marked as spam and ensure that your messages are willingly being received by an engaged audience, helping your deliverability.

The unsubscribe link leads to a [Preference Center](https://loops.so/docs/contacts/mailing-lists.md#preference-center), where your contacts can manage their own subscriptions to both your audience and any public [mailing lists](https://loops.so/docs/contacts/mailing-lists.md).

### Company name and address

The company name and address come from your settings at [Settings -> Domain](https://app.loops.so/settings?page=domain).

A physical address is required for anti-spam compliance.

### Mailing list name

If your email was sent to a [mailing list](https://loops.so/docs/contacts/mailing-lists.md), the footer will also [include the name of the list](https://loops.so/docs/contacts/mailing-lists.md#email-footers) the email was sent to.

## Custom footers

If you want to edit your emails' footers, you can do so from [Settings -> Footers](https://app.loops.so/settings?page=footers).

Click **Create footer** to add a new footer. In the editor, you can rewrite the default content or create a completely new footer, with the same styling controls as your emails.

![Create a new footer](https://mintcdn.com/loops/jO3DvsuiecE8X1d0/images/create-footer.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=jO3DvsuiecE8X1d0\&q=85\&s=ba4fb43c46628534bc30ee63bd6e007b)

Footers can be placed **Inside** or **Below** email content, and you cna change placement in the right editor panel.

### Required content

When editing a footer you need to include three variables:

* Company name
* Company address
* Unsubscribe link

Add these variable by typing `{` or typing `/` and selecting **Variable**, and then selecting the variable from the list.

If any of the required variables are missing, you will not be able to publish the footer. [Guardian](https://loops.so/docs/creating-emails/guardian.md) will notify you of the missing content just above the editor.

### Conditional sections

When you create a new footer, two [conditional sections](https://loops.so/docs/creating-emails/editor/sections.md#conditional-sections) are added to the footer, one for emails sent to mailing lists and one for emails not sent to mailing lists.

This allows you to change footer content when a mailing list is present (by default, the mailing list name is included in the footer).

You are free to delete these conditional sections if you don't need them.

### Undoing your changes

If you want to revert your changes, from the `•••` menu in the top right, you can click **Discard changes** to undo any current edits since the last publish, or **Reset to default** to go back to the original default version.

### Previewing your footer

You can preview your footer in-situ by going to the **Preview** tab in the editor.

At the top of this page you can select different emails to view your footer alongside.

### Publishing your footer

When your footer is ready, hit **Publish**. You will be able to choose if your footer appears inside or outside of your email content.

You can also choose whether this footer becomes your team's default footer for all existing and future emails.

## Changing the default footer

To change your account's default footer, select a footer from the main list of footers at Settings -> Footers.

You will be asked to confirm the change and whether to apply the footer to existing emails.
