Set a default editing interface

Select the preferred editor and additional editors available to your team members for each file.

This option is set in the front matter of specific files. You can also set this globally, or for all files in a collection when configuring your collections.

_enabled_editors:
  - visual
  - content

{
  "_enabled_editors": [
    "visual",
    "content"
  ]
}

_enabled_editors = [ "visual", "content" ]

Hiding the content area#

When files only use the front matter, it is better to display a full-screen front matter editor. You can do this by specifying data as the first enabled editor, and then omitting content from the list of enabled editors.

For example, to hide the content editor for all files in a collection called posts:

collections_config:
  posts:
    _enabled_editors:
      - data
      - visual

{
  "collections_config": {
    "posts": {
      "_enabled_editors": [
        "data",
        "visual"
      ]
    }
  }
}

This will set files in posts to open in the Data Editor by default, while still allowing the post to be opened in the Visual Editor. The Content Editor will be disabled.
