Volto UI#
The Volto user interface (UI) is a React-based frontend for the Plone content management system. It is the default user interface starting with the release of Plone 6.
Volto provides an attractive proposition: integration with the modern frontend development world, access to the huge ecosystem of React libraries and add-ons, combined with the ability to use the mature Plone CMS backend as a development platform.
Thanks to the use of the Plone REST API, it is fully compatible with Plone's content type framework. But its power comes from the innovative Pastanaga editor, which provides a flexible WYSIWYG editing interface based on "blocks".
Thanks to their simplicity and easy access to advanced frontend integration, Volto blocks can provide a fast development experience that reduces developer frustration and improves end-user experience.
