Hi, could you explain which documentation is wrong and what are the exact steps you took? Meanwhile, please make sure that you read the docs about quick start, installing plugins and custom builds. You can also use Online Builder to download an already built editor with all the plugins you need.

Hello, I had not noticed the button to create my custom online editor! Thank you very much (On the other hand you know how to remove this positioning of the editor?(With this at the top and the content at the bottom?) Have a nice day

You can use document editor, in which the toolbar is detached from the rest of the editable area and you can position it freely.

Hi, Pls i'm trying to add a button(it is a component) to my toolbar in my react app, and it has been a nightmare. I have read all the docs available and nothing works. I cloned the stable repo, edited the ckeditor.js files, all to no avail. I was hoping to use the build - classic editor, and add my components as plugins. It is almost impossible. The docs are not really clear, plus I cant find any help anywhere else. I have gone through the issues tab, for similar problems. Still in a fix. Its been 3 whole days now :( Pls help. Thanks a million

Hi @nora.

Custom builds simply does not work at the moment as far as i can see. In other words you can't use Ckeditor but with the most rudimentary functions atm. in your Vue/React project.

I asked a question here some weeks ago, and others have the same question:
https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5/issues/8241

I like you used over 3 days - absolute nightmare to get it to work. So i finally decided "just" to create a custom build as it "should" work.
But for some reason "their build process" is different. When you built yourself - you simply can't do @import like in the premade builts.

Ckeditor is awesome but i find it incomprehensible the complexity needed to add a few plugins when you build yourself - instead you should "integrate" which is enormously complex if you already have an advanced build system, there are simply to many quirks with PostCSS running twice, svg files, etc.

Again why can't we just import after building? If anyone have any clues a lot of people would be able to use Ckeditor with Vue/React/Webpack based apps.

Thanks in advance - and thanks for a great editor!
