Send yourself a test is: - a good way of explaining how placeholders work - a useful tool for checking your work before you send a big batch It’s not a good way of learning about the relationship between columns in a spreadsheet and placeholders. The ‘example spreadsheet’ thing is good at making that connection. The table on this page isn’t, because it doesn’t _feel_ like you’re making a spreadsheet with the send yourself a test feature (even though that’s what you’re doing in the background). This will be even more the case when we stop putting the input boxes horizontally on one page. By removing the table from this page it makes the page simpler, which allows people to focus on the important thing – what’s happening to their message.
