Configuring CKEditor for a Site

This website contains links to software which is either no longer maintained or will be supported only until the end of 2019 (CKFinder 2). For the latest documentation about current CKSource projects, including software like CKEditor 4/CKEditor 5, CKFinder 3, Cloud Services, Letters, Accessibility Checker, please visit the new documentation website.

If you look for an information about very old versions of CKEditor, FCKeditor and CKFinder check also the CKEditor forum, which was closed in 2015. If not, please head to StackOverflow for support.

Each SharePoint site that is a part of a site collection might be configured separately according to your needs. To configure CKEditor for SharePoint for a site, go to the Site Actions menu for the site, and select the Site Settings option.

You can now configure CKEditor for SharePoint for an individual site independently of the site collection it belongs to.

To change CKEditor settings, enter them into the Configuration section and click the OK button. Should you need to learn about CKEditor settings and configuration syntax, refer to the CKEditor Setting Explained section of the Administrator's Guide.

Note, however, that at any time you can easily return to site collection settings by clicking the Load settings from site collection button. You can also reset all settings to their default values by choosing the Reset all settings to default values button.
