Changelog
45.0.0 (April 7, 2025)
The CKEditor 5 v45.0.0 release brings powerful new features and improvements, making content creation smoother and more versatile. From enhanced email editing to a refined linking experience and a brand-new full-screen mode, this update is packed with valuable upgrades.
Release highlights
Email editing enhancements
We are making it easier to create and edit emails directly in CKEditor 5 with several enhancements. This release introduces the following new features:
- Export with Inline Styles (⭐) provides the ability to export email content with automatically inlined styles, ensuring compatibility and proper rendering across different email clients.
- Email Configuration Helper (⭐) is a new configuration helper plugin that provides guidance for integrators to correctly set up an email-friendly editor while avoiding common pitfalls.
- Layout tables: are a new type of tables that has been introduced to simplify the creation of structured email designs, offering better control over layout, alignment and spacing.
Apart from these new features, this update also brings various fixes and improvements related to table behavior, enhanced HTML support, and better handling of complex email structures. These refinements help ensure a more seamless email editing experience, reducing inconsistencies and improving compatibility with external email clients.
The fullscreen feature
A long-requested feature has finally arrived with the introduction of full-screen editing for the classic and decoupled editor types. This new mode provides a focused writing experience by making the editor the centerpiece of the screen. The expanded screen space allows for better visibility of content in sidebars such as comments, suggestions, and document outlines, enhancing your overall workflow.
Improved linking experience
Linking in CKEditor 5 has been significantly upgraded with a redesigned user interface, making adding and editing links more intuitive. Users can now easily link to bookmarks within the document and select links from predefined lists (defined by the developer). These improvements make inserting and managing links faster and more flexible than ever before.
During this initiative, we also aligned visual and technical components of the editor. Each balloon got a header with the tile, we also unified the toolbar behavior and keystrokes of Link and Bookmarks with other widget’s toolbars like image and tables.
[!NOTE]
The UI got updated in several places: main view, link properties (decorators), and also its technical implementation changed. Make sure to give special attention to the update if you did any customizations to the link interface.
New installation methods improvements: icons replacement
We are continuing to strengthen the new installation methods while phasing out older solutions. We added one of the key components you asked for: replacing our icons with your custom ones. It is now possible to replace the icons via the package’s override mechanism.
[!NOTE]
To achieve a proper solution for icons replacement for the npm builds, we needed to introduce a breaking change. If you used our icons for any purposes, make sure to update their paths.
⚠️ Deprecations in old installation methods: stage 1 completed
We are progressing with deprecation according to our sunset plan. From this release, predefined builds’ packages, such as @ckeditor/ckeditor-build-classic, are now officially deprecated. We also dropped support for Webpack 4 in both the old and new installation methods.
By the end of 2025, custom builds that rely on webpack and DLL builds will also be deprecated. Refer to our documentation and migration guides to ensure a smooth transition.
We are committed to making CKEditor 5 even better. Stay tuned for more improvements in upcoming releases! If you have any feedback, let us know — we are always listening.
Please refer to the update guide to learn more about these changes.
Happy editing!
MAJOR BREAKING CHANGES ℹ️
- bookmark: The
BookmarkUI#actionsView is no longer available. The bookmark feature is now using the WidgetToolbarRepository instead.
- build-*: CKEditor 5 predefined builds are no longer available.
- link: The
LinkUI#actionsView is no longer available. The bookmark feature now uses the LinkUI#toolbarView (an instance of the ToolbarView class) instead of the custom LinkActionsView.
MINOR BREAKING CHANGES ℹ️
- link: The
createBookmarkCallbacks() helper is now replaced by the isScrollableToTarget() and scrollToTarget() helpers.
- table: The
FormRowView class was moved to the @ckeditor/ckeditor5-ui package.
- table: The
form.css component was moved to the @ckeditor/ckeditor5-theme-lark package.
- All CKEditor 5 icons are now available in the
@ckeditor/ckeditor5-icons package.
Features
- email: Introduced a new package to validate the editor configuration for email compatibility. It helps prevent misconfigurations by enforcing best practices and future-proof rules. Added utilities for post-processing CSS, improving support across various email clients by adjusting styles for better rendering consistency.
- export-inline-styles: Added a new package for exporting content with inline styles. Ensures CSS classes (
[class]) and IDs ([id]) are inlined within elements, improving compatibility with email clients that strip external styles. It helps maintain consistent formatting across different email clients, reducing rendering issues.
- fullscreen: Introduced the fullscreen mode feature. Closes #18026. (commit)
- html-support: Introduced the ability to render the
<style> elements from the <head> section of editor data content using the FullPage plugin. See #13482. (commit)

RevisionHistory#isRevisionViewerOpen that indicates whether the revision history is opened or not.
- source-editing-enhanced: The one-dark theme is now built-in and available via
config.sourceEditingEnhanced.theme by passing the 'dark' value. This change enables the use of the dark theme with the CDN installation method, which does not support external CodeMirror dependencies. Additionally, if you previously used the oneDark extension directly, you can now switch to theme: 'dark' for built-in support.
- table: Introduced the layout tables feature to enable constructing grids with tables, for example for email editing. These tables are designed for layout purposes, and include the
role="presentation" parameter for accessibility. Users can insert layout tables via the editor toolbar and switch between content and layout tables. The editing view now closely matches the rendered output. Closes #18132. (commit)
- table: Added the ability to toggle between content tables and layout tables. Users can switch table types using a split button in the table properties UI. While captions and
<th> elements may be lost, table structure remains intact. Closes #18131. (commit)

<hr> element in the General HTML Support plugin enhanced: attributes of the <hr> element are now properly preserved if configuration allows it.
- Emoji: We enhanced emoji support for better compatibility with users' older devices.
For more details, see the changelog below.
MINOR BREAKING CHANGES ℹ️
- engine: The
ViewConsumable.consumablesFromElement() is removed and replaced with the view.Element#_getConsumables() internal method. You should use ViewConsumable.createFrom() to create consumables if needed.
- engine: The
ViewElementConsumables now accepts and outputs only normalized data. The ViewConsumable still accepts normalized or non-normalized input.
- engine: The
Matcher#match() and Matcher#matchAll() output is now normalized. The MatchResult#match now contains normalized data compatible with changes in the ViewConsumable.
Features
Bug fixes

44.2.1 (February 20, 2025)
We are happy to announce the release of CKEditor 5 v44.2.1.
During a recent internal audit, we identified a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the CKEditor 5 real-time collaboration package (CVE-2025-25299). This vulnerability can lead to unauthorized JavaScript code execution and affects user markers, which represent users' positions within the document.
This vulnerability affects only installations with real-time collaborative editing enabled.
You can read more details in the relevant security advisory and contact us if you have more questions.
Bug fixes
- comments: Fixed a few scenarios for which creating a new comment thread was impossible (for example, when a selection was made on multiple table cells). This was a regression introduced in v44.2.0.

Release Highlights
🖥️ Enhanced Source Code Editing (⭐)
Introducing new premium feature: Enhanced Source Code Editing. It displays the source code in a dialog and is compatible with all editor types. It offers syntax highlighting, code completion, code folding, and other advanced functionalities. Additionally, it supports both HTML and Markdown formats.
📤 Uploadcare and image optimizer (⭐)
We have integrated the Uploadcare image manager service, enabling you to upload and edit images to their cloud environment. You can upload files from various sources, including local devices, social media, or online drives ensuring rapid uploads. The integration takes care of efficient media delivery with responsive images mechanism, making sure your users will save bandwidth and have faster website loading. You can also optimize images with the built-in image editor which offers a range of features, such as cropping, rotating, flipping, photo filters and more. All this directly from the editor, try it out!
🖼️ Image Merge Fields (⭐)
Image merge fields are a new type of merge fields, dedicated for image placeholders. They maintain all standard image interactions, like styling, resizing or captions (in which you can use merge fields too!) At the same time, they keep all merge fields functionalities, like data previews or document export integration. In the document data, image merge fields are represented like other images, however their src attribute is set to a respective merge field, for example, src="{{CompanyLogo}}", making them easy to post-process!
📝 Track Changes Preview (⭐)
We have added the preview mode that displays a document with all suggestions accepted. Accessible from the track changes dropdown, this modal preview helps check the final content without extensive markers.
😀 Emoji support
They are here! 🎉 🥳 🎊 Insert emojis effortlessly in the editor by typing : or through a user-friendly emoji picker. This feature enhances the richness of your content by allowing quick access to a wide range of emojis.
Here comes the final batch of the planned performance improvements in the editor loading speed area, that we worked on through a couple of past releases.
- A new caching mechanism in
Mapper now handles model-to-view mappings, substantially improving performance for loading and saving data.
- Images with specified height and width automatically use
[loading="lazy"] in the editing area, optimizing the loading time (read more on MDN). This attribute is only applied during editing to enhance the loading efficiency of images, and it does not reflect in the final data output.
We are greatly satisfied with the improved editor loading times. At the same time, we acknowledge some other problematic areas, and we will keep delivering more performance-related improvements in the future.
MINOR BREAKING CHANGES ℹ️
- engine:
Mapper#registerViewToModelLength() is now deprecated and will be removed in one of the upcoming releases. This method is useful only in obscure and complex converters, where model element, or a group of model elements, are represented very differently in the view. We believe that every feature using a custom view-to-model length callback can be rewritten in a way that this mechanism is no longer necessary. Note: if this method is used, the caching mechanism for Mapper will be turned off which may degrade performance when handling big documents. Note: this method is used by the deprecated legacy lists feature. As a result, you will not experience the performance improvements if you are still using the deprecated legacy lists feature.
- image: Starting this release, images that have
[height] and [width] attributes set will automatically receive the [loading="lazy"] attribute in the editing area. This happens only for the content loaded into the editor, the data output produced by the editor remains the same. The reason for this change is to improve user experience in documents that may contain hundreds of images.
- list: The
lower-alpha and upper-alpha list styles are now upcasted to lower-latin and upper-latin styles.
- merge-fields: The
MergeFieldsEditing#getLabel() method will now return null instead of the merge field id if the merge field definition was not found or it did not contain the label property.
- basic-styles: Elements which contains the
[style] attribute with word-wrap: break-word will not be converted to <code>. See #17789.
Features
- ai: Comment threads will now be preserved when AI Assistant processes selected content with comments. This can be disabled through the
ai.aiAssistant.preserveComments flag. Note, that the actual result depends on the response provided by the AI model (AI model has to keep the comments markup in the response). Additionally, the copy-paste comments functionality must be enabled (configured by comments.copyMarkers).
- ai: The
ai.aiAssistant.removeCommands configuration now allows removing entire command groups.
- ckbox: It is now allowed to specify which files chosen from CKBox are downloadable. Closes #15928. (commit)
- clipboard: Added the ability to detect paste events originating from the editor. Closes #15935. (commit)
- clipboard: Passed information to the downcast converter when clipboard pipeline is used to allow for customization. Closes #17745. (commit)
- clipboard: The
viewToPlainText() helper will now parse the view RawElement instances. Closes #17746. (commit)

- image: Added a possibility to break the current block by
InsertImageCommand with the breakBlock flag. Closes #17742. (commit)
- list: Allowed to specify which list style types are shown in list type selector dropdown. Closes #17176. (commit)
- list: Added support for the
lower-alpha and upper-alpha list type highlighting in the list style properties buttons. Closes #17424. (commit)

- table: Improve aria attributes in the table and cell align toolbars. Closes #17722. (commit)
- track-changes: Introduced the final document preview for track changes. It allows to display the document with all suggestions accepted in the modal.
- ui: The
.ck-with-instant-tooltip class may now be used to display the tooltip without the delay. Closes #17743. (commit)
- upload: Added support for passing a callback to the
SimpleUploadConfig#headers property. Closes #15693. (commit)
- uploadcare: Introduced the Uploadcare integration.
- utils: Added a
collectStylesheets() helper function to retrieve style sheets from the provided URLs. (commit)
Bug fixes
- ai: The content generated by the AI Assistant will now be correctly inserted into tables when both "Replace" and "Insert below" actions are used.
- basic-styles: The
Code feature should not convert element with the word-wrap: break-word style into the <code> tag. Closes #17789. (commit)
- cloud-services: No longer keep refreshing token if the
cloudServices.tokenUrl method failed in the initialization of the plugin. Closes #17531. (commit)
- comments: Unlinked comment threads created before the editor initialization are now correctly handled and displayed in the comments archive. This error was experienced in asynchronous integrations which are using the
Context mechanism.
- comments: Do not allow editing content source via the source mode in the comments-only mode.
- comments: Introduced the name field tooltip in comments UI.
- editor-classic: Export
ClassicEditorUIView from package. (commit)

- merge-fields: Do not automatically convert the merge-fields-like text containing disallowed characters.
- merge-fields: Properly handle block merge fields mixed with text during data upcast and pasting.
- revision-history: The Revision history feature sidebar header height now matches the height of the editor toolbar.
- revision-history: The Revision history feature loading overlay now overlaps images correctly.
- table: Prevent a table corruption when setting editor data with
<th> cells following colspan rows. Closes #17556, #17404. (commit)
- track-changes: Introduced the name field tooltip in suggestions UI.
- typing: Fixed not working two-step caret movement on iOS devices. Closes #17171. (commit)
- ui: Tooltip will no longer show after quickly hovering and moving the mouse away before the tooltip shows. Closes #16949. (commit)
- ui: Destroying another editor instance while a modal is open will no longer unlock page scroll. Closes #17585. (commit)
- utils: Extended
getEnvKeystrokeText() with option to use it in the context of specified environment which allows to generate keystrokes text for different OS than the host one. (commit)
- Treat types as production dependencies. Fixes #17213. (commit)

- comments: Fixed the wrong
filter() callback signature in AnnotationsUIs#activate().
- engine: Introduced dynamic caching in
Mapper to improve view-to-model mapping performance, and as a result improve editor data load and data save performance. Closes #17623. (commit)
- engine: A new parameter
data was added for the change:children event fired by ViewElement and ViewDocumentFragment when their children change. The data parameter is an object with the index property, which says at which index the change happened. Related to #17623. (commit)
- engine:
Mapper#registerViewToModelLength() is now deprecated and will be removed in one of upcoming releases. Note: if this method is used, the caching mechanism for Mapper will be turned off which may degrade performance when handling big documents. Note: this method is used by the deprecated legacy lists feature. See #17623. (commit)
- engine: Export
SchemaCompiledItemDefinition type. Closes #17783. (commit)
- engine: Improve performance of the placeholders. (commit)

- font: Export
ColorSelectorDropdownView type. Closes #17783. (commit)
- image: The
[loading="lazy"] attribute will be automatically added in editing view to images with the height and width attributes set to improve loading performance. (commit)

- real-time-collaboration: Export the
Sessions class.
- real-time-collaboration: Changed how errors related to real-time collaboration are handled. Previously, the original error was always logged on the console, and a
realtimecollaborationclient- error was thrown without information related to the original error. Now, the original error is not logged anymore. Instead, the realtimecollaborationclient- error includes the data.originalError property with the original error message. This way it is possible to save error details through a custom error logging mechanism. Note, that without any custom mechanism, the realtimecollaborationclient- error will still be unhandled and logged to the console.

44.1.0 (December 16, 2024)
We are pleased to announce the latest CKEditor 5 release, focusing on performance enhancements and key bug fixes to improve your editing and collaboration experience.
Release Highlights
This release introduces another set of performance related improvements, focused on faster editor initialization for huge documents. The initialization time was lowered by further 15% to 45%, depending on the tested sample.
The combined improvements introduced in recent releases amount to around 65%-80% lower loading time in total, which means the editor will load 3-5x faster. As the gain is not linear, bigger documents see even better improvement (more than 10x faster).
Moreover, all these improvements positively impact document save time (editor.getData()), which should help with autosave issues, among others.
We still actively work in this area, so you may expect even more editor load and save efficiency improvements in the upcoming releases.
🔨 Bug Fixes and improvements
- Comments enhancements:
- Data export options: We introduced the
showCommentHighlights option in editor.getData(), that changes the comment marker conversion, allowing for styling comments in the output. Perfect for showing what was commented in Export to PDF, for example.
- Inline mode improvements: We addressed a problem where comment annotations in inline mode did not close properly when clicking elsewhere in the content.
- Thread management: We resolved an issue where creating a new thread was not interrupted when the corresponding marker was removed from the content, ensuring better stability during collaborative editing.
- Revision History update:
- Restore functionality: We disabled the ability to restore the current (edited, not saved) revision, as it represents current content, so there is nothing to restore. At the same time, using it led to some non-obvious behaviors.
- Image handling: We resolved an issue where images in the uploading state could be deleted when dragged and dropped within the editor. Keep dragging, even when it is not there 🙈.
🎄 Happy holidays!
As the holiday season approaches, we extend our warmest wishes to our community and users. Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to bringing you further enhancements and exciting features in the coming year.
