Configure HTML fields to use
TinyMCE or the legacy htmlArea editor. The TinyMCE editor provides better stability and more editing functions than the legacy htmlArea editor.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## About this task

There are two options for HTML editors:

* TinyMCE: A field that displays text as readers would see it on the screen. TinyMCE is the default editor.
* htmlArea: The legacy editor, which offers a more basic interface as well as a mode that shows only HTML markup.  
  Note:  
  htmlArea only works in Core UI, not configurable workspace.
