Power to the authors! Toward achieving fast, flexible visual content authoring
summary
Marketing team needs to produce thousands of targeted landing pages quickly, so the solution connects a drag-and-drop visual builder to structured content in Drupal rather than handing authors raw HTML. Demonstrations include Drupal 8.5, an open tool like GrapesJS, and a commercial editor (Nova/Anova-style) wired to APIs for UCLA’s tens-of-thousands photo archive. Covers using paragraphs with entity references, tradeoffs between structured vs unstructured content, multilingual/hydration pitfalls, component reusability, and governance constraints.
