The Elementor Editor V4 provides users with a far more efficient, streamlined approach to website building. While V4 is still in its Alpha stage, you can already start checking out its amazing new features. For now, these features work together with Elementor Editor 3.x so you can create a full web page using elements from both versions.
Example: You can add a V4 Heading element to the canvas and the editor will automatically add it to an Editor 3.x container.
Warning
V4 is still in its Alpha stage. Only use V4 features for testing and educational purposes and not for live sites.
