Property Editors

Overview of Property Editors in Umbraco, how they work, the built-in editors available, and how to create custom ones.

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 or Rich Text Editor blocks instead.
