It’s important to note that an entire image area will be displayed as a single image in your email. It does not matter how many shapes or graphics you have within a single image area, the entire image area will be displayed as a single image. Also, you can only assign one link per image area. If you want to add multiple links for different social media accounts, you will need to choose a layout block with multiple image areas.
First, let's go over how to assign 1 link to 1 image area (Great for linking to only 1 social media account):
‣ To create an image area link, choose an image area in your design.

Remember: 1 link to 1 image area. This means you can only assign 1 link to 1 social media outlet within 1 image area.
How to assign multiple links (Great for linking multiple social media accounts):
We’ve included several layout blocks that contain several image areas next to each other.
