If you want to change appearance of the editor or remove unused buttons you can add a custom CKEditor configuration to override default settings:

0. Go to your Strapi folder

1. Copy template config file node_modules/strapi-plugin-ckeditor5/admin/src/config/ckeditor.js to extensions/ckeditor5/admin/src/config

2. Set up extensions/ckeditor5/admin/src/config/ckeditor.js (see CKEditor configuration guide)

3. Rebuild Strapi

npm run strapi build

Configuration example

// ckeditor.js
module.exports = {
  // Override toolbar config to leave a few buttons
  toolbar: {
    items: [
      "heading",
      "|",
      "bold",
      "italic",
      "link",
