Enhancing the Editor Experience in Backdrop CMS: 10 Practical Tips

Staff Reporter

Backdrop CMS has made significant strides in improving the editor experience, but there’s always room for enhancement. A recent article published on Backdrop's official website outlines ten ways to refine the editing workflow through core settings and contributed modules.

Key tips by author Tim Erickson include customizing the CKEditor Toolbar to declutter the interface, modifying admin views to display relevant content, and using the Simplify module to hide unnecessary fields in the node edit form. The Field Group module helps organize content fields, while Dashboard Plus enhances the admin dashboard for better navigation.

Other improvements involve implementing Filter Permissions for better role management, creating an in-platform user guide with the Book module, and styling Paragraphs fields for easier content handling. Alternative admin themes like Gin, Lumi, and Seventy offer tailored UI enhancements. Finally, training and documentation ensure editors can efficiently use the system.

These strategies lead to a more efficient and user-friendly content management experience in Backdrop CMS.
