The latest version of WP comes up with an updated version of this Post Editor by the virtue of which, the interface looks much cleaner, as well as less cluttered or clumsy than in was in the previous versions. The customary “Paste from Word” button is missing as it is not required anymore, because pasting a text from the MS Word does not leave the users with a messy cluster of words any more that needs to be rearranged or edited afresh. There are options to preview the galleries from the editor. All the users need to do is to upload the images and then follow it up by inserting a gallery for checking them out.

Drag and Drop option of Images

WP also comes up with a unique feature that allows the users to drag as well as drop images into the Post Editor. For that the users do not have to click on the “Add Media” tab. As soon as an image is dragged into the post editor, the media uploader automatically pops up to let the users add a caption, ascertain the size of the image etc.

Live Widget Preview

The new version of WordPress provides the option of editing and previewing the Widgets instantly from the Customizer Screen.

Then there is the updated Customizer feature that helps the users to upload, crop as well as manage the header images.

Editing the Images

When it comes to editing the images, WordPress comes up with a handful of options that help adding as well as editing of images in a seamless way. It also helps in cropping and editing the images even when a post is being written.

Even while editing the images, an edit image screen comes up in modal form. Hence, the user does not have to go to the Edit Image page separately – the fact that saves time, besides making the process much simpler.
