Product overview

  • Support highly customized business and UI
  • Includes whiteboard + window manager + UI
  • Suitable for quick access by customers without special customization requirements.
Scope and limitations
  • No UI; pure API delivery
  • Whiteboard plugin is not supported
  • No community open-source plugins available.
  • Includes a UI that is open source and can be used directly. If it does not meet your needs, you must overwrite the default UI and develop a custom version yourself; no official custom UI support is available
  • Official built-in open-source plugins include: docsViewer, MediaPlayer, Monaco, Countdown, GeoGebra, EmbeddedPage, and Plyr. If these do not meet your requirements, you will need to perform secondary development based on the open-source code; no official custom function support is available.
  • Community-contributed plugins include PDF.js, Quill*, and Flowchart. No official support is available for custom function development. Please refer to the community plugin development document.

* Known issues with Quill: Using multiple editors may lead to version conflicts, which could result in unexpected data synchronization or other potential issues.
