What’s New in Drupal 8? 


Drupal 8 had many changes in the way CMS users will create new content. These changes affected content types, paragraph types, and media types.

Some of the biggest changes include replacing paragraphs with blocks, updating some content types to Media types, and changing a few paragraph types to media types.

The biggest change users will experience is utilizing the new Layout Builder to add and structure content on nodes. We consolidated a list of top changes to Energy.gov after the Drupal 8 Upgrade below.
