- It can support a Plugin Architecture, enabling adding custom functionalities and integrations.
- It can be designed to work across multiple platforms and browsers, ensuring a consistent user experience.
- It can include collaborative editing features, allowing multiple users to work on the same document simultaneously.
- It can offer various levels of customization, from simple toolbar modifications to complex behavior and layout changes.
