Drupal text formats provide additional security and filters for your text content. The Sector text format configuration adjusts the existing Drupal text formats and adds additional formats to cater for common use cases.

Drupal text formats add:

Additional security - Text formats filter unwanted, or potentially insecure, code or script entered in text fields.
Additional sanitation - Text formats use filters to ensure that markup is clean and follows common standards.
Granular permissions in content authoring - Text formats are hooked into Drupal permissions, allowing you to manage which user roles can use which format.

Since Drupal 8, the CKEditor is core and the WYSIWYG profiles are part of the Sector text format configuration.

The Content Administrator and Content Editor user roles are part of the Sector Starter Kit user configuration.
