CKEditor Team

Nowadays, writing is often a team sport. The worldwide pandemic has completely changed the way we cooperate. It has also brought the very idea of cooperation and the demands for collaborative writing tools to a whole new level. Conference tables and whiteboards have been replaced by functions such as track changes and comments offering a perfect collaboration communication platform for writing and editing as a team. You can also easily track the progress of your work and changes to your content with the revision history feature.

CKEditor 5 is an ultra-modern JavaScript rich-text editor with MVC architecture, a custom data model, and virtual DOM. It is written from scratch in JavaScript/TypeScript and has excellent webpack support. It provides every type of WYSIWYG editing solution imaginable with extensive collaboration support. 

Choose the best way to start

CKEditor 5 is a powerful tool that can be tailored to all kinds of needs and solutions. There are several ways to integrate the software with your system. From the easy ones, like simply downloading a ready-to-go zip from the online builder, through predefined builds, up to advanced framework integrations and DLL solutions.

Start the configuration by creating the editor:

ClassicEditor.create( document.querySelector( '#editor' ) )
	.then( editor => {
		window.editor = editor;
	} );

Then enable some of the collaboration features:

ClassicEditor.create( document.querySelector( '#editor' ), {
		toolbar: [ ..., 'comment', 'trackChanges' ],
		cloudServices: {
			tokenUrl: '...',
			uploadUrl: '...',
			webSocketUrl: '...'
		}
	} )
	.then( editor => {
		window.editor = editor;
	} );
