Backpack Pro uses TinyMCE as its WYSIWYG editor, but the exact sub-version (e.g., 6.4) included is not specified in the official documentation or issues. If you need features specifically from TinyMCE 6.4 and the bundled version is older, you have two main options:

1. Overwrite the TinyMCE Field Blade File
   You can override Backpack’s default TinyMCE field by copying tinymce.blade.php to your project and customizing it to load your desired TinyMCE version (e.g., 6.4) from a CDN or your own assets. This approach is confirmed by Backpack maintainers as the way to use a different TinyMCE version or custom plugins:

   "As easy as putting a file in resources/views/vendor/backpack/crud/pro/fields/tinymce.blade.php and that becomes the tinymce of your application. You can use whatever version of tinymce you want."
   See details here

2. Custom Field Type
   Alternatively, you can create a new custom field type (e.g., tinymce_custom) and configure it to use TinyMCE 6.4, so you can use both the default and your custom version if needed.

Note:

• When overriding, ensure you update the JS/CSS includes in your custom blade file to point to TinyMCE 6.4.
• If you override the field, you are responsible for maintaining compatibility with future Backpack updates.

There is no built-in Backpack command or configuration to upgrade the TinyMCE version used by the PRO field; manual override is the supported method according to the knowledge sources.

If you need guidance on how to override the field, let me know!

Hey @Btanemba

The current Tinymce field is using 6.3.2. For version 6.4:

• You can overwrite the field by running php artisan backpack:field --from=tinymce which will create a copy of the field resources/views/vendor/backpack/crud/fields/tinymce.blade.php. This way you are free to modify and upgrade the field as you need.
• You can also create your own TinyMCE field separately. This lets you keep both versions by using an existing field. To copy an existing field with a new name, run: php artisan backpack:field mytinymce --from=tinymce.

You can also help everyone by sharing your new blade file here. Cheers
