Editor v2 takes a big step forward in providing community users with a contemporary message editing experience. Read on to learn about all the message editor improvements.
We have removed the antiquated tabs structure (Rich Text, HTML and Preview) in favor of a more streamlined experience. You can access the HTML view from the message editor toolbar, and the Preview mode is now accessible via a link in the top-right corner of the editing page.
For users writing only plain text (which is by far the majority of community users), this solution strips away the visual clutter of these extra tabs and lets them just write.
We made several improvements to the message editing toolbar to optimize it and make it more consistent:
While documenting a piece of code, readability is utmost important.
In Editor v2, users can now OOTB choose a programming language (10 languages are supported) and insert a piece of code.
Inserted code blocks show the right indentation and Syntax highlighting according to the programming language making it very easy to follow it.

To reposition, re-size (small, medium, large) and insert a hyperlink for an image, the user need only click on the image and choose the appropriate option inline.

Emojis are a very powerful medium of expressing one’s thoughts and emotions. An emoji such as “👍” can be used to replace the text - “All the Best!” or “Best of Luck!” or “Well Done!”.
Editor v2 brings you the Unicode standard set of 2500+ emojis divided across 8 categories. Emojis are supported across both Apple and Windows devices.

Admins can choose to disable an emoji category or specific emojis within a category across community through Community Admin Settings.
In addition to the standard emoji sets, you can now add custom emojis much more simply via Studio. (Custom emojis added in v1 also will be shown here) Admins can simply name and upload a custom emoji image, and it will be available for all users across community as part of custom emoji category.
