WYSIWYG

Drupal's WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) feature allows users to create and edit content visually, without requiring any coding knowledge. The WYSIWYG editor is just what it sounds like: any change you make in the WYSIWYG field in the back end of your Drupal site will be made to the front end of the website once it's been saved. The WYSIWYG editor is integrated into Drupal's content editor interface and provides a user-friendly way to format text, add images, embed videos, and create links.

1. Log in to your Drupal site and navigate to the content you want to create/edit.
2. Once you have found the page or content you want to edit, click the "Edit" tab near the top of the page. 
3. Navigate to the content row you want to edit and click the "Edit" button. This will show you the WYSIWYG editor where you can make your changes.

You will see a toolbar at the top of the WYSIWYG editor, with various formatting and editing options (ie: Bold, Italic, Strikethrough etc.) The options available will depend on the modules and plugins installed on your Drupal site.

Text

To format text, highlight the text you want to format and click on the relevant button in the toolbar. You can also use hotkeys that you're familiar with from other programs to format highlighted text (ie: bold = command+B). For example, you can make text bold, italic, or add bullet points or numbered lists. You can also click the button that says "Normal" to select a pre-formatted heading style for your highlighted content. 

Images & Videos 

To add images or videos, click on the relevant button in the toolbar. You can upload images from your computer or you can search your existing media library by browsing through the gallery or by entering search terms for specific images. For videos, you can embed a video player from popular video hosting sites like YouTube or Vimeo.

Links 

To create links, highlight the text you want to turn into a link, and click on the "Link" button in the toolbar. You can enter an external URL by copying it from your browser and pasting it into the URL field. To add a link to an internal page on your website, start by typing the title of the page you want to link to in the URL field. Drupal will automatically show a list of content on the site that matches the words you've typed and you can then select the appropriate page.  One you've entered the URL you want to link to, click "Save".

PDFs

You can also follow this same process to add PDFs to your page. Simply highlight the text you want to link to a PDF, click the "Link" button in your WYSIWYG toolbar, and click the "Media Library" button. From here you can either upload a new PDF or choose one that's already been uploaded into your media library. Using the "Search" function can help you quickly find PDFs that already exist in your media library.

You do not need to include the file type (PDF) and size with your media link. Drupal will add that automatically. 

Buttons

Once a link has been added you can also turn it into a button! Just click on the text that has now been turned into a link, find the "Styles" dropdown menu in the toolbar, and select "Button". This is an easy way to grab your user's attention without needing to know any complex styling. 

You can also use the WYSIWYG toolbar to add tables, special characters, view the source code, and other formatting options. When you're done editing your content, click "Save" to publish it on your Drupal site.

Just remember: What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG). Any change you make to your content in the back end of the site, will show up in the front end of the site. This should make it easy for users to create and edit content visually, without needing any coding skills.
