Every issue you save from Compose appears under Issues. It stays there even if you later publish it from your newsletter platform.
Go to Issues in the sidebar. You'll see your saved work with:
Click Open draft to reopen it in Compose.
New auto-saved issues show a New badge. After you save edits in Compose, the issue shows an Edited badge instead. Issues created by Automations also show an Automated badge, and automation notifications open the matching issue directly.
Managed Company Newsletter drafts also show their review status and email delivery state, so you can tell whether a draft is waiting for review, ready for a test, test sent, needs attention, or still not sent.
At the top of Issues, you'll see aggregate metrics:
These numbers come from your connected newsletter platform (beehiiv or Kit). If you haven't connected one, you'll only see draft counts.
Click the Compose button at the top right to jump to the Compose page.
Open an issue in Compose to review the subject line, preview text, and full copy. You can edit it, use Refine with AI, copy it into your email platform, or save your changes.
For managed Company Newsletters, HeyNews reviews each draft before it can be pushed to the managed email provider. If a draft is still waiting for review, it cannot be pushed or test-sent yet.
If you've connected beehiiv or Kit, HeyNews pulls performance data for your broadcasts. Newsletters that have been sent through your connected platform will show:
This data updates automatically every few hours. Brand-new broadcasts won't show metrics right away. HeyNews waits 48 hours before pulling performance data so readers have time to actually open the email.
