Composer field

Created by Contensis product team, last modified by r.saunders on 17 Oct 2022

A composer field editor enables you to create multiple blocks of content within a single field.

When you add a composer field to a content type, you are setting up a container for supported fields. Simply add the fields you want to support when the composer is active.

A composer field provides a richer editing experience for an author when used for areas like blogs, articles and how to guides.
