Question 213 - Certified Marketing Cloud Account Engagement Specialist discussion

The reason why the reporting metrics of Email Template A are not changing as a result of the new list email send is that the metrics would be attributed to Email Template B. When a user creates a copy of an email template, makes changes and saves it as a new email template, the new email template becomes a separate entity from the original email template. The new email template has its own name, ID, and reporting metrics. The reporting metrics of an email template include the number of sends, total opens, unique opens, total clicks, unique clicks, opt-outs, and spam complaints. These metrics are calculated based on the emails that use the email template.Therefore, when the user sends a list email using Email Template B, the reporting metrics of Email Template B are updated, but the reporting metrics of Email Template A are not affected1. Option A is not correct because an email template's metrics do change after the template is used one time.An email template's metrics are updated every time an email that uses the template is sent, opened, clicked, opted out, or marked as spam1. Option B is not correct because Email Template A should not have been deleted after creating the copy. Deleting an email template does not affect the reporting metrics of the template or the emails that use the template.Deleting an email template only prevents the template from being used for new emails1. Option D is not correct because the user should not have made Email Template A the primary template. There is no concept of a primary template in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. Each email template is independent and can be used for different types of emails.Making Email Template A the primary template would not change the reporting metrics of the template or the emails that use the template
