This page has been created for the Magnolia 5 UI framework. For the 6 UI framework page, see Content Editor module instead. |
The Content Editor module provides a platform for handling well-defined blocks of content in Magnolia. The core of the platform is the Magnolia Content Editor submodule, implemented as the stories-app submodule which allows editors to create and edit stories in the Author instance using the Stories app.

Compatibility note Custom content editor and block definitions created in the Magnolia 5 UI framework must be migrated. |

<artifactId>magnolia-content-editor</artifactId>
<version>1.3.15</version> (1)
</dependency>| 1 | Should you need to specify the module version, do it using <version>. |
If you intend to build custom blocks, add this dependency to your module:
