Can I edit a Snippet when I create a Campaign?

Depending on how the Snippet is inserted into the Email Template selected during the create a campaign workflow will determine if it can be edited. When inserting the Snippet, you have two options: Copy and Reference. 'Copy' allows editing of the Snippet in a campaign. 'Reference' will pull in the Snippet read-only and references the original file in Assets.
