Better Editor

About

Better Editor is a block editor plugin for Payload CMS that enhances the editing experience by introducing a side-by-side live-preview iframe and an intuitive sidebar. This allows users to see real-time changes as they edit individual blocks without duplicating any schema. With features like a floating in-iframe toolbar for block management and viewport controls for responsive design, users can efficiently tailor their content across devices. The plugin includes helpful functionalities such as undo/redo support, intuitive click-to-edit functionality for nested blocks, and a settings panel for admin customization. The integration with Payload's form fields ensures that all custom field components, validations, and access control are fully functional. This plugin also allows for live updates to sidebar settings without requiring redeployment of the plugin, fostering a smoother admin workflow.
