Strapi's admin panel comes with a built-in rich text editor. To change the default editor, several options are at your disposal:

  • You can install a third-party plugin, such as one for CKEditor, by visiting .
  • You can create your own plugin to create and register a fully custom WYSIWYG field (see custom fields documentation).
