Confluence Cloud can use both the legacy and new editors. Refer to the [Confluence cloud editor roadmap](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/confluence-cloud-editor-roadmap/) for more information.

- **Legacy editor**
  - As the name suggests, this is the previously used (legacy) editor for Confluence.
- **New editor**
  - <span style="color: #172b4d">The new edito</span><span style="color: #000000">r has loads of great improvements and new features. However, a number of legacy editor features will not be in the new editor.</span>
