inwink New Article Editor: Continuous Improvements
This article presents the features and ongoing developments of the new inwink article editor. It is an editor that is continuously evolving thanks to your feedback. New features, improvements, and refinements are regularly added, and we will list them in this article.
1. Visual identity & design
-
The editor is based on a predefined visual identity defined at the level of your community’s branding.
Articles automatically inherit:
- the site’s global theme
- or a dedicated article theme (by creating a special theme for your articles, all of them will then share visual consistency)
-
Within your article, you can customize:
- colors
- typography
- font sizes
- visual accents
-
Copy-paste from Word:
- text is preserved
- images must be reinserted (they are not transferred automatically; they must be added to your community first before they can be displayed in your article)
