In AEM Authoring (especially AEMaaCS), when working with Tab or Accordion components, there is a noticeable UX issue where after editing a component in a non-default tab/accordion panel, the view resets back to the first tab upon closing the dialog. This creates friction for authors when working across multiple tabs or deeply nested components, as they are required to manually navigate back to the previous context after each edit. Current Impact:Slows down authoring productivity Causes confusion, especially for business users Impacts usability for complex pages with multiple tabs/accordions Requires repetitive navigation, which is inefficient at scaleProposed Enhancement:Preserve the active tab/accordion state after dialog close Maintain scroll position and UI context during authoring Optionally persist author state (session-based) for better editing continuity  Why this matters:With increasing adoption of structured components (Tabs, Accordions, Containers) in AEM Cloud implementation

Hello all, Sharing Part 2 of my AEMaaCS security hardening series:Covering a few practical improvements we implemented around: block-first dispatcher security restricting Content Fragment access through service users safer ResourceResolver handling improved 404 handling reducing unnecessary content requests The focus is less on “patching vulnerabilities” and more on building a cleaner security-first architecture for AEM as a Cloud Service.Read here: Hardening AEM as a Cloud Service — Part 2: Block-First Dispatcher Security and Safer Content Fragment Access Would love to hear how others approach dispatcher hardening and publish-tier security in their AEM projects.

AEM Multi-tenant Website: Restrict cq:tags for User Groups   by SourcedCode.com (Brian Ka Sing Li) Overview Of most common multi-tenant websites, user groups are used to determine what AEM content authors can make changes to. The most popular requirement for a multi-tenant website is the ability to only edit tags for a specific brand. In this case, the way you can achieve this is by permissions. In this blog, we will ensure that all “WKND Members” will be able to create, read, update, and delete nodes under /content/cq:tags/wknd-shared, while these members will not be able to read any other tags listed under /content/cq:tags/*.

Congratulations to ​@Wilson-Faure for your recognition as our AEM Champion of the Month for April! 🙌 🤩Wilson has one of the most loyal fan bases of any AEM expert I know. On top of being wicked smart with Adobe Experience Cloud products, his generosity with his time and kind personality make him a true force within the community. As a Champion, he always goes the extra mile by hosting a User Group meeting, sharing best practices with customers, and, dare I say, "stealing the show" at the karaoke bar?!Wilson, thank you for being you. We’re so happy to have you as an Adobe Champion! 👏  

During a recent AEM implementation, we found an interesting scenario involving Content Fragments, Live Copies, DAM localization, and translation workflows.The setup was simple in theory: Content Fragments were created in a blueprint structure, and live copies were generated under localized DAM paths by language. Later, the blueprint Content Fragment was sent for translation into a target language, where the translated Content Fragment matched the same localized DAM structure used by the live copy.In our implementation, we observed that after the translation process, the translated Content Fragment appeared to no longer preserve the expected field inheritance between the blueprint and its live copy.This is an important behavior to be aware of when combining MSM/live copies with Content Fragment translation workflows. In these scenarios, teams should validate not only that the translated content has been generated correctly, but also that the expected inheritance between the blueprint an

Current ProblemCurrently, when downloading the database from the production environment to the pre-production environment, it only gives you the option to download the author database.This causes the content that was published to become corrupted since it only appears in Author but with the metadata in the CF as if it were published, which in turn prevents this content from being published.Request to AdobeThe optimal approach when downloading production databases is to allow downloading both author and publish, thus ensuring that the content in the source and destination environments remains identical.-------------------------------------Is this issue reproducible?: YesSteps to Reproduce: Current ProblemCurrently, when downloading the database from the production environment to the pre-production environment, it only gives you the option to download the author database.This causes the content that was published to become corrupted since it only appears in Author but with the metadata i

If your AEM multifield saves correctly in Preview or Publish but loses data in Edit mode, it's almost never a caching issue. Here are the three root causes to check in order.1. Missing composite PropertyThis is the most common cause. Your multifield node needs `composite="{Boolean}true"` otherwise AEM writes flat properties instead of child nodes, which behaves inconsistently between edit and publish rendering.<items    sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/multifield"    composite="{Boolean}true">2. Sling Model Reading Wrong StructureWith `composite=true`, AEM stores items as child nodes not a String array. Your Sling Model needs `@ChildResource` not `@ValueMapValue`:// Use this for composite multifield@ChildResourceprivate List<Resource> items;3. WCM Mode Hiding Output in Edit ModeCheck your HTL for `wcmmode.disabled` conditions that might be hiding rendered output specifically in edit mode.Fastest Debug StepOpen CRXDE after saving the dialog.

Hello,we are trying to add seo schema to our page, Adobe's documentation suggests to use json-ld to author seo schema, but I am clueless on how to add it as a property to page.json. Whenever I tried to add it as a property to page.json, the content which I author in that page is being rendered as a meta tag with name property which I have defined in page.json. It is not rendering as script tag as it was mentioned in documention. Could anyone help me with this.  Thank You.

I was recently configuring maintenance tasks in AEMaaCS and ran into several gaps in the official documentation.Documentation explains the concepts, but some practical aspects are not very clear, especially around:• YAML-based configuration of maintenance jobs• How these jobs relate to the maintenance window• How to test them locally, since YAML configs are not supported in the SDK• How (or if) it’s possible to verify execution by yourself via logs in AEMaaCSI had to raise an Adobe support ticket to fully understand the behavior.After going through the full setup, I documented everything end-to-end - including configuration and testing approach.Sharing it here in case it helps someone else working with AEMaaCS maintenance: https://medium.com/@nikitamitroshin/maintenance-in-aemaacs-a-complete-setup-guide-7580dd67b770Comments and feedback are welcome!

  In my recent project I extensively worked with Permission Sensitive Caching and Closed User Groups, aka. CUGs. It turned out to be a little more complex than I anticipated. So I started a 6-part article series to document and share my learnings: Part 1 — Using Closed User Groups to Control Access Part 2 — Setting up the Dispatcher and CDN for Permission Sensitive Caching  Stay tuned for more to come.

Just been going through some of the announcements from Adobe Summit 2026 around AEM as a Cloud Service and wanted to get a real-world pulse from folks actually building on it day to day.A few things I’ve been thinking about after working on enterprise AEM Cloud implementations:The Edge Delivery Services push is getting louder but I’m curious how many teams are actually migrating existing Sites implementations versus greenfield only. In practice the replatforming effort is significant and I haven’t seen a clean story for brownfield migrations yet.Universal Editor is getting a lot of attention but author adoption in enterprise environments has been mixed in my experience. Has anyone actually rolled it out to a large non-technical authoring team and how did that go?On the pipeline and CI/CD side, Cloud Manager has improved but environment promotion still feels like it needs work especially around content variable management across stages.Would love to hear from others are these things you

In AEM, the language dropdown in the tag editor (Settings → Tags → Edit → Language) shows only a small subset of available languages, even when all language nodes are correctly defined under /apps/wcm/core/resources/languages.SolutionThere are three possible root causes:Missing or incomplete languages[] property on /content/cq:tags — the tag UI reads this property directly to populate the dropdown. Add it to /content/_cq_tags/.content.xml in your ui.content module. Use mode="update" in your filter — not mode="merge", which silently skips property updates on already-existing nodes. Language locale not defined in AEM — overlay the missing locale under /apps/wcm/core/resources/languages in your ui.apps module. Permissions — add rep:readProperties allow ACE on /content/cq:tags for the relevant user group via Repo Init.The most common culprit is #1, combined with the merge vs update filter mode confusion. Full write-up with code snippets and filter mode comparison:Why Your AEMaaCS Tag Trans

A recruiter called me last month.She had an open AEM Product Manager role. Been open for 3 months. Plenty of applicants. But none of them understood the new AEM.Here's what changed —AEM isn't just a content management system anymore.Adobe just launched MCP Servers inside AEM — meaning developers can now use AI tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and Visual Studio to write, debug, and deploy AEM code without leaving their editor.They also launched LLM Apps — a capability that lets brands build experiences that live directly inside AI interfaces like ChatGPT and Gemini.Think about that.Your website content... delivered inside an AI conversation.AEM is quietly becoming the backbone of how brands show up in the AI era.But most hiring managers are still writing job descriptions for 2022.The AEM talent market hasn't caught up yet. The candidates who understand this new AEM? They're rare. And they know their worth.If you're hiring AEM talent right now — the bar has moved.Are your job descriptions
