Drupal integrations

Which should I use

Blocks and views both bring Drupal content into a layout. Use a block for one fixed piece, such as a contact form or a menu. Use a view for a list that grows by itself, such as the latest news.

For pictures, Media Library is the recommended browser. Choose Entity Browser only when your site already depends on it.

Layout Builder and DXPR Builder can share a page. Layout Builder arranges the fields of a content type; DXPR Builder edits the content inside one of those fields.

How the builder connects to Drupal

DXPR Builder is a field formatter for text fields. Visitors see the saved layout. Users who may edit the content and have the Edit with DXPR Builder permission see the editor on the same page. The field stores plain HTML, so translations and revisions work as they do for any text field.
