| **`defaultFeatures`** | This opinionated array contains all "recommended" default features. You can see which features are included in the default features in the table below. |
| **`rootFeatures`** | This array contains all features that are enabled in the root richText editor (the one defined in the payload.config.ts). If this field is the root richText editor, or if the root richText editor is not a lexical editor, this array will be empty. |
## Features overview
## Official Features
Here's an overview of all the included features:
| Feature Name | Included by default | Description |
| ----------------------------------- | ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **`BoldFeature`** | Yes | Handles the bold text format |
| **`ItalicFeature`** | Yes | Handles the italic text format |
| **`UnderlineFeature`** | Yes | Handles the underline text format |
| **`StrikethroughFeature`** | Yes | Handles the strikethrough text format |
| **`SubscriptFeature`** | Yes | Handles the subscript text format |
| **`SuperscriptFeature`** | Yes | Handles the superscript text format |
| **`InlineCodeFeature`** | Yes | Handles the inline-code text format |
| **`ParagraphFeature`** | Yes | Handles paragraphs. Since they are already a key feature of lexical itself, this Feature mainly handles the Slash and Add-Block menu entries for paragraphs |
| **`HeadingFeature`** | Yes | Adds Heading Nodes (by default, H1 - H6, but that can be customized) |
| **`AlignFeature`** | Yes | Allows you to align text left, centered and right |
| **`IndentFeature`** | Yes | Allows you to indent text with the tab key |
| **`UnorderedListFeature`** | Yes | Adds unordered lists (ul) |
| **`OrderedListFeature`** | Yes | Adds ordered lists (ol) |
| **`ChecklistFeature`** | Yes | Adds checklists |
| **`LinkFeature`** | Yes | Allows you to create internal and external links |
| **`RelationshipFeature`** | Yes | Allows you to create block-level (not inline) relationships to other documents |
| **`BlockquoteFeature`** | Yes | Allows you to create block-level quotes |
| **`UploadFeature`** | Yes | Allows you to create block-level upload nodes - this supports all kinds of uploads, not just images |
| **`HorizontalRuleFeature`** | Yes | Horizontal rules / separators. Basically displays an `<hr>` element |
| **`InlineToolbarFeature`** | Yes | The inline toolbar is the floating toolbar which appears when you select text. This toolbar only contains actions relevant for selected text |
| **`FixedToolbarFeature`** | No | This classic toolbar is pinned to the top and always visible. Both inline and fixed toolbars can be enabled at the same time. |
| **`BlocksFeature`** | No | Allows you to use Payload's [Blocks Field](../fields/blocks) directly inside your editor. In the feature props, you can specify the allowed blocks - just like in the Blocks field. |
| **`TreeViewFeature`** | No | Adds a debug box under the editor, which allows you to see the current editor state live, the dom, as well as time travel. Very useful for debugging |
| **`EXPERIMENTAL_TableFeature`** | No | Adds support for tables. This feature may be removed or receive breaking changes in the future - even within a stable lexical release, without needing a major release. |
| **`EXPERIMENTAL_TextStateFeature`** | No | Allows you to store key-value attributes within TextNodes and assign them inline styles. |
Notice how even the toolbars are features? That's how extensible our lexical editor is - you could theoretically create your own toolbar if you wanted to!
You can find more information about the official features in our [official features docs](../rich-text/official-features).
