Adobe Experience Manager Edge Delivery Services

My company had external contract hires to build out a site that is actually super simple. It offers access to the AEM Assets( DAM) but also 6 other short pages with informative content and no more than 6 buttons on each page linking to a PDF housed in the DAM.  I feel the external team wrote too much code and did not leverage out of the box options. I now have a EDS AEM site that can only be authored through DA.live.   I have attempted to work around a lot of issues with the available tools and Experience League articles, but not getting anywhere. Just trying to find the easiest way to provide a preview on a PDF file before accepting to download

Edge Delivery Services has changed the game for Lighthouse scores, but the authoring experience is now the big conversation. I’m looking to gather some real-world perspectives on the best 'flavor' of authoring for AEM Edge Delivery Services (EDS).​i see we have three distinct paths and I'd love to hear from anyone who has moved between them:​Pure Document Authoring (Google Drive/SharePoint): The speed is unmatched, but how are you handling complex governance at scale?​DA.live (Document Authoring): Is this the 'Goldilocks' zone for asset integration, or does it add an unnecessary layer?​Universal Editor with AEM Sites: For those who need MSM and heavy localization, does the performance of EDS still feel 'magical' when coming from a full AEM Cloud Service backend?​Which combination have you found offers the best balance of author velocity and developer sanity? Looking forward to your insights!" 

We are in the process of migrating our large and complex site from AEM as cloud service to EDS. One thing we wanted to check is if we can serve our content from localhost instead of relying on a cloud instance since we have multiple developers doing lot of POC's and research stories. Is it possible to mount localhost in fstab.yaml or any other means of having local content for EDS?  

Hi all,I am not able to open the admin console in da.live, even after I have logged in adobe via google(I use the same with sandbox). After going through the documentation, I came to know I need a adobe ID (aka IMS) for this purpose. Does anyone know how can I generate the adobe ID or IMS. We do have a sandbox also available in AEMaaCS, is it related to that?  I am just doing a POC on content protection.Thanks

In Universal Editor, when trying to align text in Rich Text field by using default alignment option (left, center, right), it only adds inline style. Upon saving changes and exiting out of RTE, all inline styles are removed.I want to have per-paragraph alignment option within a rich text field so didn’t do this through custom model field. Any fix for this? Like adding a class instead of inline styling so this can actually work?

We are using Universal Editor with Edge Delivery Service, I would like to know how to customise the OOTB text styles available in Text Default content type. For this particular example I would like to add more options to add alignments.  It's not possible to apply any customisations inside RTE fields through the json model.Could you advise on the problem?

Hi All, Can someone please guide on how to create multifiled button in block model. I want to create tease block with multifield button. Need two property for button link and button title same way how we can do in AEM component. I didn’t find any documentation to achieve this.  RegardsSofiyan  

I am using Google Docs to manage content in EDS, I am wanting to 'Insert Link' to other documents in the Google Drive, that will be converted to a proper external link at preview and publish. However, when I preview the document the link does not get converted to the externally rendered URL but stays pointing to the Google Docs file in a Google Drive Domain.Is there a configuration option at the .helix level that I would need to set to make this happen?

I'm currently working on an x-walk EDS project. One of our customer's requirements is a tab block that can serve as a container for any type of block within the project.However, we soon realized that EDS generally only allows a single level of nesting. We found a document that suggests customizing sections might be the way to achieve our goal.Unfortunately, the document didn't provide sufficient guidance to accomplish this. We're now looking for any use cases or successful examples of this feature to refer to.Does anyone know of any use cases or successful examples of this feature that we could check out? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I’m running into an issue with the multifield container in AEM Universal Editor. When I try to reorder items, instead of simply moving them, a duplicate entry is created. To reproduce:I have three tabs defined (tab1, tab2, tab3).When I drag tab3 to the second position, the result is: tab1, tab3, tab2, tab3.So the tab I moved is duplicated: the original one moves to the target position, and a second one is created at the end. This is my container model configuration:  const model: ComponentModel = { id: componentId, fields: [ { component: "select", name: "tabVariant", label: "Tab variant", valueType: "string", options: [ ... ], }, { component: "container", name: "tabSettings", label: "Tab Settings", valueType: "string", collapsible: false, multi: true, fields: [ { component: "text", name: "tabLabel"

I'm trying to create a property field ("text") inside my block. However, the field did not render as expected. Is there something missing from my json file?{ "definitions": [ { "title": "Credit Cards", "id": "credit-cards", "plugins": { "xwalk": { "page": { "resourceType": "core/franklin/components/block/v1/block", "template": { "name": "Credit Cards", "filter": "credit-cards" } } } } }, { "title": "Credit Card", "id": "credit-card", "plugins": { "xwalk": { "page": { "resourceType": "core/franklin/components/block/v1/block/item", "template": { "name": "Credit Card", "model": "credit-card" } } } } } ], "models": [ { "id": "credit-cards", "fields": [ { "component": "text", "name"

I'm working on a custom block that would accept multifield properties. I'm currently using list but won't work on my end. Is there any correct approach for this?{ "id": "product-list", "fields": [ { "component": "text", "name": "headingText", "label": "Heading Text" }, { "component": "list", "name": "contentFragmentItems", "label": "Content Fragment Items", "fields": [ { "component": "aem-content-fragment", "name": "contentFragmentReference", "label": "Content Fragment Path" }, { "component": "text", "name": "linkText", "label": "Button Text" }, { "component": "aem-content", "name": "link", "label": "Link Path" } ] } ] }code?

I'm currently working with Universal Editor in EDS and I have a question regarding the Title Default Content block/component.I would like to add additional properties (e.g., subtitle, style options, custom attributes) to the Title Default Content so that they can be configured via the Universal Editor.Where to add the JavaScript code to enable or register additional properties for this block?  

I’m currently using the Universal Editor in AEM Sites.I have a select component that determines which layout to use.When I switch to the "Six-grid layout", a container component appears, allowing the user to add multiple items inside it.At this point, I’m not using any custom JavaScript or CSS.My issue is that the values inside the container item do not appear in the view or the rendered HTML.Additionally, the content tree shows a component that I didn’t define, and I’m not sure where it’s coming from.Can anyone help me identify whether there’s something wrong with my definition file, or if I’m missing a required configuration? { "definitions": [ { "title": "Foo", "id": "foo", "plugins": { "xwalk": { "page": { "resourceType": "core/franklin/components/block/v1/block", "template": { "name": "Foo", "model": "foo" } } } } } ], "models": [ {

Is it possible to have a container with the multi property set to true ? Here is my model definition:"models": [ { "id": "cardlinksitem", "fields": [ { "component": "text", "name": "title", "value": "", "label": "Title", "valueType": "string" }, { "component": "container", "label": "Links", "name": "links", "valueType": "object", "multi": true, "fields": [ { "component": "text", "name": "title", "label": "Button Label", "valueType": "string" }, { "component": "text",

Hi,I’m working in a document-based authoring environment where content is managed through structured documents (possibly XML or JSON via an Enterprise Data Store). I need to fetch the placeholder text for an email input field dynamically from the EDS document and display it in a web form (as shown in the attached screenshot).Could someone help me understand:How do I retrieve the placeholder text value from a structured document in the EDS?What tags or keys should I look for (assuming XML/JSON)?What is the recommended approach to bind this value to a frontend form field's placeholder attribute?Are there specific APIs, query mechanisms, or CMS features used to extract such values in document-based systems?How do I ensure this content remains manageable for authors/editors without needing code changes?Any guidance, best practices, or example implementations would be really helpful.Thanks!

I already have a site running on AEM Cloud that was created a couple of years ago using the standard author and publisher flow. The site has multiple pages that are working fine.Now I want to integrate and utilize Edge Delivery Services (EDS) with this existing site and its pages.I have already gone through https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/events/experience-manager-gems-recordings/gems2024/aem-authoring-and-edge-delivery It says that a new site needs to be created and a GitHub repository must be linked to it, after which I can add pages to that new site. But what happens to the pages that already exist in other sites? Do I have to manually migrate all the pages from site XYZ (built using the standard author and publisher flow) to the new site ABC?

Is there any way to remove Header block for a specific page in EDS, currently it's being loaded on page load across all EDS pages

Hello,I'm currently working on a project using X-walk and the Universal Editor and have a question regarding how sheets are handled.Does the Experience Delivery Service (EDS) support only one sheet per type (e.g., taxonomy, metadata) for an entire project? When I try to create mappings for a second sheet of a specific type (for example, a second metadata sheet named metadata2 or a second taxonomy sheet), publishing it to the EDS fails to generate a json file, resulting in a 404 error.I’ve also read in the documentation that using a shared- prefix might be a solution, but this approach does not seem to work with X-walk either. If X-walk projects are indeed limited to a single sheet per type, is there another recommended approach to implement page-specific sheets within the EDS? Thanks in advance for any insights you can provide!

I’m exploring automation testing options and wondering if Playwright or any other automation testing tool can be used in EDS. Has anyone tried integrating Playwright, Selenium, or other tools for testing in EDS? If so, what were the challenges, and are there any best practices to follow?

Hi,I have integrate Sidekick with Asset Selector as per documentation https://www.aem.live/developer/configuring-aem-assets-sidekick-plugin.I am able to see the assets, however while copying the images into my docx, its copying the images rather the urls(reference)I have used the configs in - /tools/assets-selector/config.json{ "copyMode": [ { "mimeType": "image/*", "value": "reference" } ] } need assistance on this.TIA

In the context of Adobe's document-based EDS, a client is able to make changes to a document, preview those changes, and then publish the document. For this particular project, the document being used is hosted on SharePoint. The workflow is supposed to function as follows:Edit: Changes are made to the document (in this case, a Word document).Preview: The changes are previewed using the Adobe Sidekick extensionPublish: Once satisfied with the preview, the document is published. The IssueWhile working through this process, we’ve noticed that after making changes to the document, the preview does not always reflect these changes immediately. Often, after clicking "Preview," the new content does not appear right away, requiring multiple attempts before the changes are visible. This delay is problematic, particularly for client demonstrations, where immediate feedback is crucial for showcasing the tool’s functionality and reliability.Any solutions to this woul

Hello community, I’m planning an implementation of Adobe Commerce on Edge Delivery Services and have some specific questions that I hope you can help clarify: Unsupported "drop-in" components : In the documentation, some components listed under "Commerce drop-in components" are not marked as supported. What approach does Adobe recommend for addressing these cases in a project? Is there a public roadmap detailing when support for these components is planned? If so, where can it be accessed? Storefront Services and Live Search: Is Live Search mandatory in Storefront Services? If Live Search is not implemented, what key functionalities would be lost or limited? Is it possible to use alternative solutions like OpenSearch to meet these needs? API Mesh for integrations: According to the note in the documentation, API Mesh for Adobe Developer App Builder allows aggregating multiple APIs. Is it feasible to implement thi
