CKEditor 5 updates and maintenance

CKEditor 5 is an active, rapidly developing software project. It is, therefore, important to keep it updated and in best condition for stability and safety reasons.

# Migration to CDN

Migrate your CKEditor 5 from an NPM-based installation to a CDN-based one (for example Vanilla JS). CDN-based installations can simplify the setup process by providing a bundler-agnostic way to lazy initialization of CKEditor 5 scripts and styles injection. It reduces complexity in the project setup.

# New installation methods

This section will explore the new installation methods introduced in CKEditor 5 v42.0.0. These methods make CKEditor 5 much easier to use by reducing the number of possible installation paths and removing most of the limitations of the old methods.

# Migration from CKEditor 4
