**Feature request**

Place these two existing settings next to each other:

- **Blog automation trigger** — how many new posts must exist before a send is triggered

- **Items per send** — how many posts are included in the email

**Problem this solves**

Prevent Accidental Sends by Clarifying Blog Automation Settings

These two settings are currently easy to confuse because they control different things but are not presented together. When placed side-by-side, it becomes immediately clear that one setting controls _when_ a send happens, and the other controls _what_ is sent. Both settings are also difficult to locate in their current positions.

**How I would use this**

I adjust these settings regularly to avoid sending a newsletter prematurely (for example, triggering only after all planned posts are published) while still controlling how many posts appear in each send. Keeping these settings visible and adjacent would make it easier to adapt quickly to changing newsletter needs.

Please pass this suggestion along to the development team.
