How to Get Content Editors to Love Drupal

Speaker(s): Suzanne Dergacheva

Some content editors find Drupal easy-to-use and others find it a daunting maze of forms full of confusing terminology. Often, it just depends on how the admin UI has been configured.

In this session, I'll present some ideas for customizing the Drupal admin interface for content editors. We'll walk through various use cases and cover best practices to follow for any Drupal 8 site.

You'll learn how the content editing interface can affect your content strategy and the happiness of your content editors.

The session will include advice on the following topics:

  • Text formats and WYSIWYG settings
  • Field and content type configuration
  • Media management UI
  • Custom admin dashboards and Views
  • Contributed modules to improve the admin UI
