Because LiveText is part of your Storage data, it integrates into all its existing features, such as version history, server-side editing, and multiplayer undo/redo. Plus you can nest it deeply in your data structures, which easily enables multiple text documents per page.

Yjs still has some advantages over LiveText: • Better offline support. • Plugins for more editors. • Can have larger documents. We'll likely be supporting more editors in future, and we'll be investigating way to increase the 2 MB limit on LiveText documents.
