CKEditor 4 Long Term Support
The LTS module allows Drupal users to safely use CKEditor 4 beyond its end-of-life by providing security updates until December 2026.
Your Ultimate Drupal WYSIWYG Editor
CKEditor’s been a dedicated contributor to Drupal since 2009.
In 2012 CKEditor 4 became the core WYSIWYG editing module in Drupal 8, and remained the core editor in Drupal 9.
Now, after a two- year-long collaborative effort, CKEditor 5 is the default WYSIWYG editor module in Drupal 10.

Frequently asked questions
The method by which you set up the editor in Drupal depends on which version of CKEditor you’re using, and the Drupal version where you’re implementing the editor.
When CKEditor is available as a core module, there is no need for installation or any extra steps. When it’s available as a contributed module, you need to install the module yourself. Details about configuration of both core and contributed modules and documentation can be found on the module pages.
