Frequently asked questions

What is CKEditor 5 LTS Edition and how is it different from regular CKEditor 5 releases?

CKEditor 5 LTS Edition is released once every two years and guarantees up to 3 years of security and compatibility fixes with no breaking changes. Unlike regular releases (3–4 per year), it lets you stay on a single, stable version without mandatory upgrades.

Who is CKEditor 5 LTS Edition for?

Teams that need long-term stability – especially in enterprise, government, education, or regulated industries – where frequent upgrades are difficult or costly.

How long is each LTS Edition supported?

Each edition comes with a 3-year support window, including security patches and third-party API compatibility fixes. Overlapping support ensures a smooth upgrade path between editions.

Does LTS Edition include bug fixes and new features?

Yes – for the first 6 months after release, you receive all new features and bug fixes (and non-breaking changes). After that, you get critical security and compatibility updates only.

Will I still need to upgrade CKEditor 5 if I buy LTS Edition?

No major upgrade is required for 3 years, unless you choose to adopt a newer version earlier, during the 3-year period.

What types of issues are covered under third-party API assurance?

Fixes for breaking changes caused by external dependencies (e.g., browser updates, OS changes, MS Word integrations) that impact CKEditor 5 functionality.

How do I purchase CKEditor 5 LTS Edition?

It’s available as an add-on to your CKEditor 5 license. Contact our sales team for pricing and a tailored plan.

Can I switch from a regular release to LTS Edition later?

Yes, you can switch at any time – but earlier adoption maximizes your stability window.

Does LTS Edition affect our current support agreement?

No – it adds extended stability and security coverage while keeping your existing support contract in place.

What happens after the 3-year support period ends?

You can upgrade to the next LTS Edition or move to the latest regular release. There’s a 1-year overlap to make the transition seamless.
