Leveraging Front-End Interactions in Drupal 8 to Create an Engaging Experience

gbanga

Content is the lifeblood of any content management system. Improving the out-of-the-box authoring experience was a main focus for Drupal 8. For those of us that use the author interface every day, there are some exciting changes in the CKEditor experience. These include  a new in-place editing feature, redesigned content creation page, refreshed admin theme and more.

Another area of focus for Drupal 8 was improving the Block system. Blocks are reusable widgets of content that you can place in different regions of your site. One major enhancement in Drupal 8 is that you can have more than one instance of a block on the same page and all instances can have different configurations. Also, the Block Admin UI has been redesigned and is much easier to use.

This session is designed for content authors and site builders who wish to learn more about the UI enhancements in Drupal 8 and how best to use them.
