TinyMCE 7 editor upgrade
Today we released a new version of the TinyMCE editor. The EPiServer.CMS.TinyMce 5.0.0 package includes integration with the latest version of the TinyMCE 7 library.
Upgrade information
In this release we haven't added new functionalities, it's only the TinyMCE library migration. The package has been released as version 5 and not a continuation of version 4, because the TinyMCE library has minor breaking changes.
But for most Optimizely installations using the 4.x version integration you won't need to make any code changes when upgrading.
There are no server-side configuration changes. Adding plugins and setting up the toolbar remains unchanged. All editor configuration changes that need to be made are described in the TinyMCE migration documentation.
The TinyMCE 6 and TinyMCE 7 API are almost the same.
Worked out of the box for The Epicweb AI-Assistant for Optimizely CMS and Connect Commerce, You made it so easy! great work!
The latest version of Episerver.CMS (12.32.4 - https://nuget.optimizely.com/package/?id=EPiServer.CMS) does not support this version of tinymce, how would you go about updating to this on a CMS 12 website?
How do we that self-host access the "optimizely provided" commercial license key?
From https://nuget.optimizely.com/packages/EPiServer.CMS.TinyMce/5.0.0/License:
Optimizely Inc has a commercial license with Tiny Technologies Inc that allows the use of TinyMCE in Optimizely products.The Template plugin has been removed in TinyMCE 7. Did anyone find a similiar replacement?

We would also like to find out how to address the removal of Template plugin in the latest version of TinyMCE. It is preventing us from upgrading to the latest Episerver.CMS package (12.33.1)
Just FYI v8 is now latest TinyMCE so they were smart and broke all existing links for v7 migration (even on their own site they have broken links now to migration docs).
TinyMCE v6.x to v7 migration docs: https://www.tiny.cloud/docs/tinymce/7/migration-from-6x/ and the removed template plufin https://www.tiny.cloud/docs/tinymce/7/migration-from-6x/#removed-plugins
We also used the table plugin and as it was removed our frontend developer created our own "Add table plugin". The javascript is added using the config.Default().AddExternalPlugin("addTable", "/path/to/the/addtableplugin.js"), as we had need to just for two table templates.
