⚙️ Administrator Control

All 150+ features can be individually enabled or disabled by the site administrator from:
Site Administration → Plugins → Text Editors → Anoop Kakkur Rich Text Editor

On first installation, the editor automatically sets itself as the default text editor. If you prefer to keep your existing editor as the site default, go to Site Administration → Plugins → Text Editors → Manage Editors and move the Anoop Kakkur Rich Text Editor to any position other than first. Your previous editor will immediately become the site default again while this editor remains available as an option for individual users.

Editor height — set to 0 (default) to automatically match the height requested by each Moodle plugin form. Set to any CSS value such as 75vh or 400px for a fixed height across all editors.
