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.

Use a Composer field to provide a richer editing experience for areas such as blogs, articles, and how-to guides.
