I have three translation Projects in "Committed for Translation" and not flowing into our TMS for translation. Now that I have confirmed the language mapping is correct (it wasn't), is there a way to push these files from "committed for translation" to "in process" without having to create entirely new translation Projects? I can create new Projects, but that would also create problems with all the "in progress" files (knowing which ones are shared between documents and which ones were sent out in the first batch and need to be re-sent). AEM 6.5.21 (on-prem installation (21 Dec 2024)AEM Guides v4.6 (UUID, on-prem installation (21 Dec 2024)GlobalLink AEMP Connector: 6.4.3GlobalLink AEMC Connector: 2.6.0

How do I add or remove templates so that it is enabled in Preset when generating output

Hi,I am currently exploring the AEM Guides feature.Regarding task creation, I understand that there is an out-of-the-box (OOTB) workflow that sends a notification to the reviewer once the review task is created.However, I need help with the reverse process. Is there any documentation about a workflow or process that notifies the author/owner via email and the bell notification icon within the AEM server once a reviewer submits all their comments? Thanks!

Hi Team, I am trying to work with the relationship tables(Reltable) in the DITAMAP's. The related links functionality works fine for me and I am able to see the relationship nodes are being generated in the website for all the references which are created as part of the DITAMAP, also able to see them in the "Related Information" section on the actual topic page. I have a few questions on the information created in the DITAMAP:I observed that if there is a concept, topics and task relationships, the related content is automatically generated and shows as related content in the AEM pages, but if I use only topics, then I have to make the custom references using the "reltable" mappings. is there a way we can set those relations by default if they are in the hierarchy?I am able to see the relationship information in XML Editor and as well as in the DITAMAP dashboard topics editor, but I am not able to see the proper values in the topics view mode. Is this an issue in the tool or

Every time I try to access Adobe Sign, it just says something went wrong (screenshot attached).  Is this happening for everyone or is this an issue on my end?

Hi Team I have a requirement, where I will hit external api and get response and the response I will show in tabular format. Can I have excel download button to download this tabular format exactly. Any inputs or advise. Please guide me. 

Hi,   I have created DITA topics as well as DITA map for 100+ articles.I created different folder for each language and under each language folder i am having nearly 10-15 DITA topics as well as DITA maps. Take the example of below structure.   But whenever I am adding article5 topic path as xref  in article1 topic then after AEM site generation it is creating article 5 page under mySite/ca/article1 along with article1 page. So basically whenever i am adding any DITA article path in any page as xref it is creating page for those also.   Anyone knows how we can restrict DITA from generating site page for the xref links ?

I have two dita-maps called map A and map B. map B contains few topic-references and it is being referred in map A using <map-ref href="/path/to/mapA"  processing-role="resource-only"> element. Although, after generating AEM SITE as output, the generated site toc doesn't contain the entries for topics which is referred in map B , but the AEM Page got generated for such topics as well.    We have a requirement that such topic-pages shouldn't get generated which has the processing-role attribute with value as "resource-only" either on <topic-ref> element or <map-ref> element.   I there any possible way to achieve this ? @divrajsingh 

https://webauthor-qa.company.com/libs/fmdita/bulkpublish-dashboard.details.html/var/dxml/bulkactivationcollections/servicemanuals   When I try the bulk publish feature as an admin user, publishing works fine.   However, for a custom user with minimum required permission and DITA related groups (Authors, Reviewers, Publishers), bulk publishing does not work.   I have verified the user's access to below paths: – /var/dxml–> Read and Write– /content/dam/fmdita-outputs –> Read and Write– /content/output/sites –> Read and Write   Any leads will be helpful.

Hi, We have a requirement to migrate content from SDL to AEM guides. We have received the custom dita-ot and the xml files. For custom dita-ot, we have integrated the plugins with our aem dita-ot. We have uploaded the dita-ot zip file and the dita files in this path - apps/fmdita/dita_resources . Screenshots included in the attachment We have configured the custom profile in the below manner. Just wanted to confirm if we have configured it correctly.For Schema we have configured the custom plugin catalog xml path. Screenshots included in the attachment For the below categories like build path-  Do we need to configure the custom dita-ot build xml path or is this fine. Screenshots included in the attachment  For the below build path and integrator xml - Do we need to configure the custom dita-ot build path, integrator xml or is this fine. Screenshots included in the attachment Issues faced:We have imported the content using webDav t

When an author submits replies to a content reviewer via Review panel in XML Guides, is there a way to customize this such that the reviewer can receive the notification via email or in AEM Inbox notification page? For example, John is a content reviewer, and he makes a comment, and the author replies to this comment by putting in "@John" in the inbox, John should receive this message in his email and/or AEM Inbox notification. This facilitates collaborative review, bantering between the Author and the Reviewer. I guess this is a highly desirable feature to have for content reviews.Thanks,K 

One additional change that content users will observe with 3.8 XML Documentation build on baselines tab is few more labels with images. This was not there in previous build.      With the new release, content users can also apply labels on indirect references like images etc. using the 'Add Labels' option on the baselines tab. Earlier these labels were only limited to the direct references and it was difficult to choose the correct versions of images while creating the baseline using labels.    With this feature, all labels for a specific versions are shown on the baselines tab including those created by default workflows also. Refer the above screenshot and you will notice the labels as 1.0, 1.1 etc  on images. which are not manually created rather created by the 'DAM Metadata Writeback' workflow of AEM. 

There is a shortcut option in the web-editor toolbar to let author insert the special characters already. The same can be seen in screenshot below:     These list of characters is configurable here. If you need to add more characters to this then follow the below steps:   Log into AEM and open the CRXDE Lite mode. create symbols.json file at the following location:/apps/fmdita/xmleditor/ (You can copy the default from - /libs/fmdita/clientlibs/clientlibs/xmleditor/symbols.json location) Add the special character definition in the symbols.json file as:{ "label": "Logical Symbols", "items": [ { "name": "≥", "title": "Greater-Than or Equal To" }, { "name": "≤", "title": "Smaller-Than or Equal To" } ] }​The structure of the symbols.json file is explained below:• "label": "Logical Symbols": This specifies the category for the special characters. In the snippet, acategory with the name

We need to turn on the document states/workflow as described in the Use Document States in DDLC section of Document state | Adobe Experience Manager.We have followed the instructions in the V4.2 (UUID) Install and Configure instructions Enable Approval Workflow (pg 32-33). Are there any other missing configuration steps we need to perform to get the document states/workflow working? I can change the Document States correctly (Draft > In Review > Approved), but once in Approved state, AEM Guides does not prevent me from making additional edits to the topic and saving it. The system is NOT forcing me to create a new version before making changes as the instructions say it should. Moving the topic to the Done state also does not lock the file and force me to create a new version before making changes. AEM Guides (UUID) v4.2 On-Prem InstallationAEM 6.5.15 On-Prem Installation

Hi Team,   We had tried putting both XML file and XSLT file into the same folder and in the source view of particular topic we had referred the XSLT file. It doesn't process the XSLT file in the AEM guides Web editor. Is there any approach to apply custom XSL in AEM guides Web editor (Author and Preview mode)?

Is there a way to see which topics in a map are "dirty" (when the last saved version doesn't match the last working version)? I looked all over the Map Dashboard and the various Manage options, but so far the only way I can see that is to open up each topic and look at the version number in the upper right corner of the editor page. That's okay for short maps, but not for long instruction manual maps. AEM Guides (UUID) v4.2 On-Prem Installation (late April/early May 2023)AEM 6.5.15 On-Prem Installation

Current version: AEM 6.5.21 and AEM Guides v4.6 In Guides v4.4, we were able to drag/drop topics around the map in the Author view. In Guides v4.6, if you drag/drop topics in the Map's author view, the topics just disappear from the map entirely. Is this the intended behavior? (The topics are visible within the author pane but disappear from the left panel map view and if you look at the Source view, the topics are gone. The topics then disappear again in the Author view after you return to that view, even if you save the map or save a new version.)I was able to drag/drop/move topics using the Layout view, but not in the Author view.If this is the intended behavior (and I cannot think of a single reason why you'd want content to disappear), what is the use case for Author view vs Layout view?

Hi everyone,I'm having trouble with the AEM installation. I follow the process of creating the two folders author and publish and renaming their installers. When I click normally, nothing happens, it creates the folder but it's empty. However, when I run it through the cmd, it seems to follow the installation, creates the same folder but this time with content, asks me to create a password and repeat it, then just that, it doesn't open a window as it should in the manuals, if I enter the localhost on the port it doesn't find it. Does anyone know what I can do? My Java version is 21.Thanks! =D

I have a user that as been added to AEM through AD integration.  They are in a group that has been assigned access to the dev instance as an author. Their name is not in the User Management Table in AEM Guides and I cannot add them. Further, I cannot seem to assign them rights to create topics and maps which is what I ultimately want to do. Any advice?

Currently, I use Adobe RoboHelp 2015 to distribute IT Disaster Recovery documentation. While I edit HTML files with Dreamweaver, the majority of the DR info is stored throughout 1000s of Word files stored in a network folder structure. The SMEs edit those Word info with the info they need to restore their system if there's been a disaster. I link all of those SME-edited Word files to my RoboHelp project - when the SME makes a change, the icon next to the linked Word file in RoboHelp changes its color from Green to Yellow so I know that it's time to re-publish the RoboHelp as a browser-based output.I have been seeing "AEM Guides" everywhere in Adobe marketing - just got the invite to the conference in Las Vegas! - but I don't understand what it is. I'm looking for some simple answers to what I hope are some simple questions. Specifically:-- Is AEM Guides a replacement for traditional Help Authoring Tools (HAT) like RoboHelp?-- What are the output options, meaning, could I use this

Hi there. How do I implement a dynamic Table of Contents in Guides? Where can I find the instructions? Thank you!

If a DITA map is re-translated, any saved baselines are lost for that language. (All saved source language baselines remain.) Is that the intended behavior? Shouldn't saved baselines remain available?
