UndoManger usually tracks changes to component models, so if you can record the changes from the rte in the component in some way it could work. I'm not completely sure how this would work so I can't give a more in depth description. Anyway ckeditor does come with it's own undomanager so alternatively you could use that, you'd probably just need to include the undo/redo buttons in your config

Yeah, as already mentioned by @Ju99ernaut all major RTE editors implement their own undo manager. Indeed, when the RTE is enabled (built-in or a custom one) all shortcuts are disabled, in order not to mess with text editing (when you edit text and press CTRL+Z you expect to undo the edited text).

Thanks for reporting this, @alext2793.

Great question about UndoManager add. The recommended approach with ProseMirror is to use the event-driven API.

Start here:

  1. Check the GrapesJS documentation for your specific module
  2. Look for the on() event listener method
  3. Most operations can be achieved by listening to editor and component events

Common patterns:

// Listen for changes
editor.on('change', () => console.log('something changed'));

// Component lifecycle
editor.on('component:mount', (c) => console.log('component ready', c));
editor.on('component:update', (c) => console.log('component updated', c));

If you're still stuck:

  • Share a minimal CodeSandbox reproduction
  • Include what you've already tried
  • Mention your GrapesJS version
