When we first introduced Page builder, many teams still needed Experience Editor for certain workflows. Over the past few years, we have worked closely with you to understand those needs and we have delivered the missing capabilities. With these features now available in Page builder, you can confidently move all your editing and authoring into a modern, intuitive, and scalable environment.
What you asked for - now in Page builder
Custom Editing Interfaces
You wanted more flexibility for business-specific fields. With Marketplace Custom Fields, developers can now create tailored UI components and rendering parameters directly in Page builder.Modern Developer Experience
You needed a faster, cloud-native foundation. The Content SDK replaces legacy approaches with a stable, scalable platform. Combined with Local Editing Host and optimized architecture, it allows developers to build enterprise-grade pages up to 3× faster.Inline Editing & Content Management
You asked for smooth inline editing. Page builder now offers an enhanced floating panel with inline text editing, configurable toolbars, direct item editing, and drag-and-drop component management all without leaving the canvas.Clarity in Page Structure
You wanted visibility into how pages and components are organized. With Layers, you can now visualize and interact with page hierarchy in a clear, structured way.Personalization & Testing
You asked for integrated optimization tools. Page builder now brings personalization and A/B testing directly into the canvas, with analytics built into the authoring flow.Content mode
A full‑screen experience for creating, finding, and editing content without switching to Content Editor was needed. Content mode provides a fast, distraction‑free way to work with pages and content items, including datasources, using guided creation and powerful search.Publishing/unpublishing enhancements
You need greater control and improved visibility to help control publishing and unpublishing in Page Builder to give clearer control and confidence over what is live. Authors can now unpublish pages directly from Page builder to quickly take content offline without deleting it, while keeping all versions intact for future reuse. New publishing status badges make it easy to see at a glance whether a page or version is draft, approved, live, or scheduled, reducing guesswork and unnecessary tool switching.
What This Means
With these capabilities in place, Page builder now covers everything you previously relied on Experience Editor for and more.
Note that if you are still using JSS in chromes mode, you will effectively loose your only WYSIWG Editor as Page builder only supports Metadata Mode.
We encourage all teams to begin transitioning to Page builder now. The Page builder readiness recipe, associated documentation, and support channels are ready to help ensure a smooth move.
