The Visual Editing Experience: Gutenberg Editor vs. Layout Builder
jshenk
In Drupal 8, site building as it relates to page layouts has become an increasingly complex issue. Between Paragraphs, Blocks, Panels, Layout Builder, and Gutenber Editor, the choices are seemingly endless for creating a solution that works for both developers and content editors.
We all know about Blocks, Paragraphs, and Panels—they are nothing new on the scene. In this session, I will shine some light on two relatively new methods for site building and why I believe they are the future of Drupal page layouts. We will demo both the Gutenberg editor as well as the new Layout Builder, to display their strengths, weaknesses, and overall impact on site builders and content editors. With these two editors, we can completely change the content editor experience that we have known thus far in Drupal 8.
Learning Objectives
- Learn the features of a good content editing experience for a user
- Learn about the features of the Gutenberg editor module
- Learn about the features of the Layout Builder modules
- Learn how to choose which option is right for you
Target Audience
My target audience is site builders, frontend developers, and content managers. While all three of the roles are very different, they share a common thread within the content managment experience.
Prerequisites
Being familiar with Drupal's current contment management experience in Drupal 8 would be helpful, but not required.
