Drupal Frontend Editing 2.0.0-beta2 Offers Sidebar WYSIWYG Editor

Dr. Christoph Breidert and 1xINTERNET have released version 2.0.0-beta2 of the Frontend Editing module, enabling WYSIWYG content editing directly on Drupal sites. The update, published 25 June 2025, supports Drupal 9.3 through 11 and integrates a detachable side panel for real-time layout, format, and style adjustments.

The module embeds direct edit links into entity displays and loads editing forms in an iframe-based sidebar. Content changes appear instantly in context, matching backend styling for a consistent editorial experience. Users who require preview functionality without saving can install the All Entity Preview module, which the Frontend Editing integration fully supports.

Templates for entities must include the `{{ content.frontend_editing }}` render element to enable the sidebar. No template changes are needed if `{{ content }}` is already in use. Paragraphs editing depends on the Paragraphs Edit module and may encounter upstream issues; contributors should consult the issue queue for fixes and the revision attribution bug #2914976.

1xINTERNET, a Gold Certified Drupal Partner, backs the module’s development and sponsors maintenance via its digital agency services. More than 880 sites report using Frontend Editing, which requires composer installation with `composer require drupal/frontend_editing:^2.0@beta`.

Full documentation, screenshots, and source code are available on the project page.
