Next, open a new tab in your browser and open up the .html file you have just downloaded. Right click your mouse and select 'view page source' to view the email code.

Select and copy all the code.

Now open your Pardot instance and navigate to either 'New List Email' or 'New Email Template'

Selecting 'New List Email' will allow you to import your Knak email code into a single email.
