Editor compatibility

Layer:Shared document capability

EditorStatusAssembly and boundaries
ClassicSupportedclassicEditorPreset — Use the product-neutral classicEditorPreset without duplicating installed capabilities. The Word preset replaces paragraphs, headings and container lists; do not stack generic structures onto that model.
BlockSupportedcreateBlockEditorPreset — The default createBlockEditor preset installs this capability. Configure the corresponding preset child; graphic editing uses the preset's workspace ports, while persistence and assets remain host-owned. Avoid duplicate extensions.

“Supported” means the product assembly above exists; interaction, host services and file formats retain their own conditions. See status and integration rules. Licensing is shown separately.

Installation

sh

Install in Editor extensions. The host supplies a view, container and persistence; see Quick start.

ts

Use compatible versions available from your distribution source. This site uses the Alpha workspace. License labels come from package metadata; see support and licensing.

Integration by editor

These snippets use an existing host element named element. The host owns container sizing and persistence; call instance.destroy() on teardown. Avoid duplicating preset capabilities and supply required host ports before installation.

Commands and runtime

These commands are supplied directly by this extension. Availability depends on the installed schema, selection and protection policy; query editor.can() first.

CommandParameter signature
selectBlockRangeselectBlockRange(range: BlockRangeRef | null)
moveBlockRangemoveBlockRange(request: BlockMoveRequest)
insertBlockAtinsertBlockAt(request: BlockInsertRequest)

These are parameter signatures. See commands and controls to connect UI while retaining one transaction/history authority.
