# Editing functions in HTML field editor

Several editing functions are built into TinyMCE.

You can add more edit functions to TinyMCE v6.8.3 using the **glide.ui.html.editor.toolbar** property and properties on the **UI Properties** page. For more information on configuring the edit functions, see [Configure the HTML toolbar](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-administration/t_ConfigureTheTinyMCEHTMLToolbar.md).
