Editor's Notes
- With the new editor functionality and bundled CKEditor WYSIWYG editor, it has never been easier to edit content in Drupal. The new user interface features two columns so you can concentrate on what is important. Drupal 8 features: • In-place editing of content without having to use the full edit form. • WYSIWYG configuration made easy with web security in mind. • Draft saving made easier.
