Then hit Save down the bottom

Step 7 - Now click on the Home button in the top left to go back to the main cPanel screen

Now click on the icon for the Advanced Zone Editor (or DNS Zone Editor)

Step 8 - Go into Mailchimp and take note of the DKIM records

Now go back into the cPanel Zone Editor and click on Manage for the domain you're setting up Mailchimp for

Click Add Record then select Add CNAME Record

Step 9 - Add the record similarly to what the picture bellow looks like, and click Add Record
