Replaced by: 

As frontend block editing, Place Blocks (from 8.2), Settings Tray (8.5) and Layout builder (from 8.7) have been included in Drupal core, this module has not as much improvements as before, so we recommend to use the Drupal core's feature.

Synopsis

This module intends to improve the Drupal administration interface by adding more administration features directly on frontend pages.

Currently, this module improves block management by adding a new toolbar in the administration menu available in frontend pages.

The Edit UI module does nothing if enabled alone.

You will need to activate one or more of its sub-modules to get some benefits:

  • edit_ui_block: Allows the block layout to be managed directly in the frontend with drag and drop.
  • edit_ui_contextual: Improves contextual action for blocks.

Available features:

  • Block creation directly from frontend pages.
  • Block AJAX deletion using the contextual menu.
  • Blocks and regions highlighting to better visualize the page's layout.
  • Block region management with drag and drop (including the "disabled" region).
  • Block weight management inside a region with drag and drop.
  • Block AJAX deletion using using drag an drop into the trash.
  • Choose between an immediate server syncing or a button that will save your layout only when you are done with it.
