# Quill - Rich Content Editor (React)

A rich text editor is a tool that allows users to create, edit, and format text using advanced features. For instance, your respondents can apply a bold, italic, or underline font style to text, add bullet points, numbered lists, hyperlinks, adjust text alignment, and more. This demo shows how to integrate the <a href="https://quilljs.com/" target="_blank">Quill</a> text editor into your survey.

For a step-by step Quill integration tutorial, refer to the following documentation articles. Although they describe integration of a color picker, the same instructions apply to any other third-party component, including Quill.
