Mercury Editor

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.
