# Property Editors

A Property Editor is what content editors use to input data on a Document Type. When you create a Data Type in the backoffice, you choose a Property Editor and configure it. Umbraco ships with a wide range of built-in Property Editors, and you can create custom ones.

**Are you looking for the Grid Layout or Nested Content?**

These Property Editors were removed in Umbraco version 14:

* Grid Layout
* Nested content

Use the [Block Editor](/umbraco-cms/18.latest/model-your-content/property-editors/built-in-umbraco-property-editors/block-editor.md) or [Rich Text Editor blocks](/umbraco-cms/18.latest/model-your-content/property-editors/built-in-umbraco-property-editors/rich-text-editor/blocks.md) instead.
{% endhint %}
