The form editor has been totally revamped with a focus not only on aesthetics, but on ease of use, providing a similar experience that feels native to the WordPress Gutenberg environment.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17092\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gravityforms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Drag-and-Drop-HQ.gif\" alt=\"Drag and Drop HQ\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" \/>Key notable changes to the form editor include field settings being moved out of the form area to the right hand side panel, which has allowed for drag-and-drop column control, making it easy for you to create forms in a layout that works for your web pages.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the new form editor, check out these articles\u2026<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gravityforms.com\/two-five-form-editor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Take a Sneak Peek at the New 2.5 Form Editor<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gravityforms.com\/drag-and-drop-column-control-two-five\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Enjoy Column Control with Gravity Forms 2.5<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Get Your Hands On Gravity Forms 2.5<\/h2>\n<p>Gravity Forms 2.5 is now available to all new and existing customers.
