As Per The Notice

“Reconnect with your email subscribers using marketing emails. Select your audience, customize your design, and track performance all in one place. Confirm your Page’s email address to get started.”

After confirming the email address by page managers then they can add email contact to their subscribers’ list. It can be added either individually or via a spreadsheet.
