Reporting issues

If you feel you found an issue in CKEditor 5, we will be grateful for letting us know. Before you create a bug report, please read the guidelines on how to do it properly and most efficiently.

Reproduce on official examples

To eliminate the chance that the issue might be caused by some third-party software or your customizations, try to reproduce the issue on the official examples first.

The examples are always running the latest editor version. Please note that if the problem was fixed in one of the releases that succeeded the version you are using, you will need to upgrade your CKEditor 5 installation as we do not backport fixes.

Most of the issues are reproducible on the demo. If you have a different case though, no problem. Go ahead with the next steps.

Reporting issues

All issues should be reported in the CKEditor 5 repositories on GitHub.

Issues related to builds are usually caused by issues in the CKEditor 5 Framework components and plugins included in the build. You may report issues directly into the repositories that you think are related to them (like plugins) but, if you are unsure, the ckeditor5 issues page should be used as the fallback place for any issue. The CKEditor 5 team will then move the issue to the right place or give you further instructions, if necessary.

Things to keep in mind:

• Search for existing issues before starting a new one. This helps our team to have the backlog in order.
• Be concise and informative, making it easy for our team to understand the problem.
• Do not use the issues pages for asking for help. The project has other communication channels for that purpose.
• Feel free to jump into discussions around issues, exposing your opinion! Issues with third-party plugins should be reported directly to their developers.
