The Content First module provides a simple tool for viewing the plain text content of any node without design, media, or layout distractions. It helps content teams, editors, and designers focus on what matters most: the content itself.

Whether you're drafting, reviewing, or rethinking your site’s messaging, this module supports a true “content-first” approach by giving you a clean, layout-free version of your page.

Features

Content tab

The content first module adds a new tab to every node page. That tab shows a clean, structured text version of the page content.

From this tab, you can:

  • View all text content (without layout noise): Markdown and simple HTML formats
  • Copy it with one click
  • Download it as plain text: Markdown and simple HTML

No configuration. No views to build. Just access to the content.

Markdown content visualization

(simple) HTML content visualization

Headings tree visualization

Headings tree visualization, including missing headers (SEO/Accessibility)

Content export

The module allows to select multiple content and download them all at once into a .zip so yo can process the data elsewhere.

Use cases:

  • Content strategy and copywritting review sessions (human or AI)
  • Pre-design content validation
  • Content audits or UX writing sprints
  • Minimal reading interface for accessibility reviews

Usage

Install and enable the module.

  • Assign the View Content First tab permission to the appropriate roles.
  • Navigate to any node page — you'll see a new "Content First" tab.
  • Click the tab to view the stripped-down, text-only version of the node.
  • No additional configuration is needed.
