Content Style Editor

Description

The Content Style Editor gives teams a smarter way to control how content looks—without breaking design systems or slowing developers down. It allows developers and designers to expose specific style properties, such as typography, layout options, and colors, directly to content teams inside the Universal Visual Editor (UVE).

Developers decide which style options are configurable, and editors adjust them using intuitive visual controls like dropdowns, checkboxes, and selectors. Style values are delivered as structured data to the front end, keeping headless rendering fully in your control while giving content teams the flexibility they need.

Available on Evergreen headless instances only.
