After July 2021, the 2.3.x release line no longer received quality updates or user guide updates. PHP 7.3 reached end of support in December 2021, and Adobe Commerce 2.3.x reached end of support in September 2022. We strongly recommend upgrading to Adobe Commerce 2.4.x to help maintain PCI compliance.

Using the Editor

This site contains archived merchant documentation for a version of Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source that has reached end-of-support. The documentation available here is intended for historical reference only and is not maintained. The Adobe Commerce Merchant Documentation for current releases is published on the Adobe Experience League.

The editor gives you the ability to enter and format while working in a What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) view of the content. If you prefer to work directly with the underlying HTML code, you can easily change modes. The editor can be used to create content for pages, blocks, and product descriptions. When working on product detail, access the editor by clicking Show / Hide Editor.

TinyMCE 4 is now the default WYSIWYG editor. TinyMCE 3 is now deprecated, but can be enabled in the configuration if required for previous customizations.
