Two Drupal Modules Aim to Simplify Editorial Workflows

Improving day-to-day Drupal editing workflows is the focus of Nadiia Nykolaichuk’s ImageX blog post, Two ImageX Built Modules With Big Benefits for Drupal Editors. The article highlights two lightweight modules, Entity Display Modes Listing and Entity Confirmation, as practical additions to reduce navigation steps and clarify content actions for editors.

The first module, Entity Display Modes Listing, adds direct links to view modes and form modes in Drupal’s entity operations menu. Instead of opening a content type’s “Manage display” or “Manage form display” pages and switching through tabs, editors can access modes such as Teaser, Full content, Spotlight, Calendar card, Quick submission, or Calendar entry from the main administration interface. The post notes that the module works beyond content types and can apply to Drupal entities with fields, including users, taxonomy terms, comments, media items, and custom block types.

The second module, Entity Confirmation, lets site teams replace default messages such as “Content saved” with custom confirmation text for create, update, and delete operations. The article explains that messages can be tailored by content type and form mode, including different confirmations for contributors submitting training sessions and editors scheduling them. It also notes that Drupal’s configuration translation system can support translated confirmation messages, making the module relevant for multilingual editorial workflows.
