CKEditor 5 for Drupal Adds Self-Service Licensing and Version Override
CKEditor has announced significant updates to CKEditor 5 for Drupal, introducing self-service licensing and a version override submodule to provide users with greater flexibility and control. The self-service licensing feature, available in CKEditor 5 version 44.0.0, allows Drupal users to purchase and manage licenses directly, streamlining access to premium features such as collaborative editing, real-time commenting, and version tracking. This update simplifies the onboarding process and offers users a tailored approach to activating CKEditor 5's advanced features.
The CKEditor 5 Version Override Submodule allows users on Drupal 10.3 and 11.0.x to manually upgrade CKEditor 5 to version 44.0.0, enabling access to the new self-service licensing system. However, Drupal 10.4 and 11.1 already include CKEditor 5 v44.0.0, making the override submodule unnecessary for those versions. CKEditor advises users to test compatibility before deploying overrides, especially if custom plugins are in use.
Other updates to the Premium Features Module include support for Real-Time Collaboration Permissions, Export to Word Converters V2, and enhanced content workflows. The CKEditor 5 Plugin Pack now enables users to add custom attributes to links, while CKEditor 4 LTS has been updated to support Drupal 11. Users can explore CKEditor 5's advanced features through a 14-day free trial, providing access to premium editing tools for improved content workflows and collaborative editing.
