Hi Team

Which are the most important factors to take into consideration when selecting an editor for the Edge Delivery Service project? I'd like to know the specific distinctions between the Universal and Document-based editors.

Hi @keerthanas 
Yes, the editing is gonna be different, for universal editor you need to create blocks progamtically, which will allow author to do editing, similar to components but for document based, no development is needed for authoring

 

Here are the blocks for universal editor : https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/edge-delivery/wysiwyg-authoring/create-block 

 

Apart from authoring, the generation of content, the block js/css development and other things stays same in both the approaches.

Hi @keerthanas 
If you are going to use universal editor then you have to use AEM for content hosting, which is cross walk or x-walk setup.

Right now this is available via VIP program.

 

You cannot use Universal editor with google documents or microsoft documents.

    Hi @arunpatidar 

    Thank you for your prompt response.
    I would like to know how these two editors differ from one another, especially in terms of their main characteristics.
