Working with Layout Paragraphs: an Easy-to-Use, Drag-and-Drop Content Editing Tool for Drupal

Layout Paragraphs is a contributed Drupal module that combines drag-and-drop editing, Drupal core's layout API, and the Paragraphs module to provide an accessible, easy-to-use authoring experience. Designed to empower marketing and editorial teams everywhere, Layout Paragraphs offers a WYSIWYG interface for publishing highly visual, long-form content. 

In this session, we'll demo the capabilities of Layout Paragraphs, explain how it differs from core's Layout Builder, and show participants how to implement Layout Paragraphs in their own Drupal websites. 

Building on last year’s DrupalCon sessions in Portland and Prague, this year we’ll dig a little deeper and also cover more advanced topics including:

• Strategies for implementing web governance with Layout Paragraphs 
• Extending Layout Paragraphs to build an authoring experience tailored to your team’s marketing and editorial needs
• Using Layout Paragraphs for decoupled websites and applications
