Changes in version 12

Once your website has been upgraded and you log in to work in TYPO3 version 12, you will experience a number of changes. The most important and notable changes are listed here. We are continuously working on updating the TYPO3 guides to version 12, so they reflect the below mentioned changes.

Grid elements have been converted to container elements

Examples of grid elements are the different columns that you can divide your page into. The change has a very small impact on your workflow in TYPO3, as you can still use the old grid elements - however, you will find them under the "Container" tab when you create new content in TYPO3.

News Administration module is removed

The News Administration module has been removed in version 12. However, as an editor in TYPO3, you can easily create news - however, this must be done in List-view.

Removed icons in the editor

The editor in TYPO3 version 12 has many of the same functionalities as in version 10. However, a few functionalities have been removed. You cannot use the following functionalities in TYPO3 version 12:

  • Spellcheck
  • Paste from Microsoft Word button

Editors can still use Copy+Paste keyboard shortcuts in the editor
