Drupal vs Netlify CMS

Functionality differences

• With Netlify CMS, you don’t have to maintain multiple instances (staging and production) as you do with Drupal.
• Netlify CMS has no database, it’s not role-based, it has a flatter workflow for approvals, and it offers preview URLs.
• Netlify CMS doesn't provide a plugin for spellcheck, but there's a simple way to enable spellcheck in your browser (see instructions below).
• Login page: Netlify CMS has an /admin page instead of a /login page.
• As of netlify-cms-app version 2.15.51 (Oct 2021), NetlifyCMS does not support dependent field validation/visibility rules, for example:
  • If field A has a value, make field B required
  • If field A value is X, unhide field B
  • If field A value is X, hide field B

Terminology differences

• What Drupal calls “Content types,” Netlify CMS calls “Collections.”
• What Drupal calls “Nodes,” Netlify CMS calls “Collection items.”

How to turn on spell check in your browser

• Turn on spell check in Chrome
• Turn on spell check in Windows 10
• Other browsers: You may need IT support or search online for instructions if your machine is running on a different version of Windows.
