Mercury Editor provides an alternative content authoring experience that replaces Drupal's default forms with a live, interactive preview. It functions as a page builder, allowing content creators to use a drag-and-drop interface with pre-built templates and components to create custom layouts. This WYSIWYG approach ensures content creators can build visually compelling pages efficiently while adhering to design guidelines.
Mercury Editor™ offers an alternative content authoring experience and page builder, replacing the “Add Content” and “Edit Content” forms in Drupal. With Mercury, the content edit form is moved into a resizable offcanvas tray along the right side of the screen, and a live, interactive preview is rendered on the left. Any Layout Paragraphs fields enabled for a content type will be rendered in the “Builder” mode – providing a what-you-see-is-what-you-get page builder for content creators.
