See TinyMCE’s guide for migrating from TinyMCE 5 to TinyMCE 6.

What's changing?

The Confluence editor will be upgraded from TinyMCE 5 to TinyMCE 6 in Confluence 8.3. This page provides a summary of the changes we've made to prepare for the upgrade.

(info) We recommend you make these changes now before they become required when we upgrade to TinyMCE 6. The changes are compatible with both versions of the editor.

Confluence API changes

RemovedDescription
tinymce.pluginsAs a result of removing tinymce.create(), most of our manually declared global variables under tinymce.plugins object have also been removed. Don't use these as APIs.

TinyMCE API changes

RemovedDescription
tinymce.create()

The create() method is deprecated and will be removed in TinyMCE 6. You can still use it safely in Confluence 8.2, but we recommend you remove it in preparation for the editor upgrade.
