  <li>The Traditional mailing editor opens. Mosaico templates are listed in the drop-down box.</li>
  <li>When a Mosaico template is selected, the code is placed in the CKEditor as if it were any normal message. No Mosaico drag-and-drop capabilities are available. See image. <a href="https://i.sstatic.net/9I0Ep.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/9I0Ep.jpg" alt="Mosaico template in old Mailing editor"></a></li>
  <li>To use the Mosaico features, we have to use the template editor, save the template, and then base a new Mailing on that template in the old "traditional" editor.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>For the longest time, I thought this was just a quirky behavior -- create a new Mosaico Template for <em>every</em> mailing, and then put that into the traditional Mailing editor. I've since started to suspect that this is not the case.</p>
  
  <p>Can I get some confirmation that this is, in fact, incorrect behavior? And, any ideas as to why this is happening?</p>

Comments.Text: True, we are using 1.1. Should have mentioned that. I had installed 2.0beta4 in our development site, and got the "missing dependencies" error (as described in https://civicrm.stackexchange.com/questions/25763/mosaico-packages-are-missing-beta-4). I didn't work through that error, as I wasn't sure I wanted a beta on my production site anyway. But if it will solve this problem, it might be worth it.

Comments.Text: Thanks Pete and Jon. Mosaico 2.0 does what I want, and I was able to install it properly from https://civicrm.org/extensions/mosaico-civicrm-integration/version-20-beta4

Title: "New Mailing" doesn't take me to Mosaico
ThreadText: # "New Mailing" doesn't take me to Mosaico
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2019-02-13)
  
  We've had Mosaico installed for a while, and we like it, however, I don't think it is behaving as it should in our installation. Here is what I *think* should happen:
  
  1. Select Mailings / New Mailing
  2. A Mailing editor opens up, which is different than the "Traditional" editor. This Mosaico Mailing editor shows Mosaico templates as thumbnails, rather than a drop-down list. Such as <https://wapix.co/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/001-1200x561.png>
  3. Select the Mosaico template
  4. The Mosaico editor opens and you edit your message with all of the Mosaico features.
  
  Here is how our installation behaves:
  
  1. Select Mailings / New Mailing
  2. The Traditional mailing editor opens. Mosaico templates are listed in the drop-down box.
  3. When a Mosaico template is selected, the code is placed in the CKEditor as if it were any normal message. No Mosaico drag-and-drop capabilities are available. See image. [![Mosaico template in old Mailing editor](https://i.sstatic.net/9I0Ep.jpg)](https://i.sstatic.net/9I0Ep.jpg)
  4. To use the Mosaico features, we have to use the template editor, save the template, and then base a new Mailing on that template in the old "traditional" editor.
