Is there a way to separate an email by public/premium preview? So that a free member only get’s an email that is cut in half? ---

Not at the moment but we’re working on this. As a short term solution: One way you can do something similar right now is to `cut` the part of the post you don’t want in the email, publish+send the post, then `paste` the rest of the content back into the editor, and save to update it. This way, paid members will be able to click to view the rest of the post on your site, and free members will need to switch to a paid plan to access the rest of the post. ---

Great! Is there an ETA for this feature? ---

This will be amazing feature @Kym . Thank you. @alexgoldman68 in the meantime - you can publish + send only to free members first (with content cut) and then unpublish this, then resend it to paid members with full content as well 🙂 ---

As this post is already some time ago: Is there in the meantime a solution or just as described workarounds? Which means all content added to a newsletter is visible to all recipients, no matter if you have added a “public preview” aka “paywall” section / card to the post? ---

Paywalls work in email just fine. This is a very old post! :) ---

Hello Kym, I know this is an old thread but I figured I would ask. So I realize everything has been charged an is much better now. My question is this: When I send the newsletter with the preview line and free members get shown this message. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/ghost2/original/3X/a/2/a2251470b623213667d87ed612d24a1e6fd22575.png) When they upgrade, how will they actually be able to view the content that was included in this email. I realize going forward they will not have the preview line prevent them from viewing the full email, but my concern is that the way this card sounds it gives them the impression that if they upgrade they will be able to view the content in this very email + the ones in the future. So if they’re not able to actually view the content in this email by being redirected somehow by ghost automatically to view the email online after upgrading (it’s not a post published online), they will get mad and feel like they have been baited and switched. So do you know if they will somehow be granted access to this content by being redirected by ghost to view this email online via [URL.com - MediaOptions](http://url.com/email/xxxxxxxxx) ? If not, this would be too risky for me if I was unable to change what the CTA card says in the email. I would need it to say Upgrade and get access to all future premium content, so that it doesn’t say “upgrade to continue reading”, because that would make just about anyone mad if they could not infact continue reading that EXACT content rather than just all future content.
