What does Drag and Drop editor mean?

A drag and drop editor is a visual editor in which you can edit content by dragging elements with the mouse to the desired place. Users can add text, an image, a button, a banner or an entire content block to the page and immediately see what the result will look like. The advantage is that common edits don't require writing code or touching HTML or CSS.

In e-commerce, drag and drop editors are used mainly when creating product pages, landing pages, articles or banners. They help assemble content faster, test different layouts and edit pages without a developer.
