Content Editing XP

I am making a custom rich text field for the front end of my site using Slate. I plan on adding support for @mentions and custom emoji. Since the Rich text (Blocks) editor in Strapi uses Slate, I need to be able to support my custom elements in Strapi. I plan to look into forking Strapi's editor, but being able to just extend the current one would be a lot nicer. I may look into writing a PR for making it extensible myself, but probably not anytime soon since my free time is all tied up with my personal Strapi project. I wanted to submit the idea in case anyone else wants to run with it.

This new section in the configurations lets the allowed roles to customise the menu (add, remove, rename links) in the menu on the left side. It offers a full range of options to create a customised menu per roles or user.

Currently there is no content editing lock. This can result in issues when 2 editors are working on the same content. In example editor 1 has saved some changes, while editor 2 has the same (old) content already opened. Editor 2 saves his changes after editor 1, and the changes from editor 1 are lost. Realtime editing with multiple editors would of course be the future, but in the meantime I would suggest a lock on the content, similar like in the WordPress CMS.

It would be really beneficial if there was a way to retain the order (using order column for example) of a collection and be able to update it via drag-and-drop on the collection view. There are many cases when we want to have a certain order of items (regardless of insert order/id/filter/sort options provided in the view), and to be able to retrieve the data using the predefined order later (as seen in the collection view for example) Using drag and drop would help as it's really tedious to go to a huge collection and pump the order column of each item (for a CMS user) or run a query on the database (for CMS power user) most common use case, ordering an employee list on a company website (or add a new employee at a specific position) see: https://github.com/strapi/strapi/issues/3946

While you edit a blog post, you might associate it to a brand new category. Unfortunately, if the category doesn't exist, you have to save the post. Create the category. Then go back to the post to attach it the category. Until we release this functionality to create new entry on-the-fly on top of the relation fields. https://github.com/strapi/strapi/pull/5125

Please, give an option to change the date format in the admin dashboard. This was possible in v3 through simple customizations but it would be much better to have the option from the global settings of the admin dashboard. see: https://github.com/strapi/strapi/issues/12216

As an Editor who works inside a team, I want to have a comment system that enables us to leave comment(s) about the changes that I made to the contents inside a component, so that my team understand the reason behind the change and we keep a track of our content decisions. This is similar to the commenting system on Google Docs or MS.Word, where you select a paragraph(~ a component on Strapi) and leave a question or comments, maybe tag someone else, etc, and others can write back on the same thread.

For both marketers and developers, it could be very useful to have the ability to contribute content from their tablet and mobile. To do that, the user interface needs to be responsive and adaptive to every device sizes.

You often need to calculate or aggregate field together like you would do in a sheet: SUM(price,fees), DAYSAGO(date) or MULTIPLY (width, height). See the issue for more details: https://github.com/strapi/strapi/issues/3131
