Editor Experience
Improve the manager experience by reducing noise and making each content form easier to understand.
Editor experience in Evolution CMS is mostly determined by template design, TV setup, manager customization, and the extras chosen for editing.
What Makes the Manager Comfortable
- clear template names and descriptions
- TV labels that describe real business fields
- resource trees that mirror how editors work
- unnecessary fields hidden from the edit form
Common Tools
- eTinyMCE — rich text editing for content teams.
- eCodemirror — code editing for templates, chunks, and snippets.
- eFilemanager — file and media management.
- sGallery — image and video attachments for resources.
- ManagerManager — classic manager form customization for legacy projects.
Typical Improvements
- attach TVs only to the templates that need them
- use tabs or grouped fields for long edit forms
- rename or hide manager sections that confuse editors
- keep WYSIWYG fields for text, not for every kind of data
Rule of Thumb
If editors must remember hidden conventions, the model is wrong. If they can recognize the content type, fill the fields, and save without extra instructions, the manager setup is doing its job.
See the Admin & Manager UX and Media, Files & Editors extras sections for the packages typically used here.

Content Modeling
Model content types deliberately so editors enter structured data and templates stay clean.

Lists, Forms, and Search
Combine lists, forms, filters, and search into structured site flows instead of isolated widgets.
