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?

I am able to create a review task for a topic in AEM Guides, cloud. No email is sent to the reviewer that is listed in the project.No email is sent to the owner of the review task. How do I enable this in AEM Cloud?

What are the out-of-the-box audit trail features or capabilities available in AEM Guides and Assets? Specifically, in the context of an audit, what tools or features does Guides or Assets provide to track actions like authoring, editing, publishing and timestamps?  I'm aware that by opening an individual map or topic, I can view the version history to find this information. However, I'm looking for a way to generate a report or  use a feature that consolidates this data without having to open each file individually. Is there an out-of-the-box solution for this in AEM?  Additional context: I'm seeking info on features or capabilities to showcase AEM's out-of-the-box audit capabilities for demonstrating transparency to auditors. Specifically, I want to highlight how AEM can provide detailed info about content changes and user actions for compliance and control purposes. Thank you!

Hey fellas, I am exploring at a project which involves migration from Madcap Flare which is the current documentation platform to AEM Guides.I have not worked on a DITA based migration project before so would appreciate your inputs as to the pitfalls and things to consider. Also, has anyone worked on a migration project for technical documentation to AEM Guides from other CCMS solutions?Any blog reference, link would be highly appreciated! @divrajsingh, @prashantpa, @sschnelbach 

Hi,I have previously posted this question in another community subsection https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/aem-guides-assets-ui-has-nonfunctional-navigation-arrows/m-p/703254#M174024 , but have been advised to post here instead. When viewing a preview for a file in the Assets UI, there are backwards/forwards arrows at the top of the preview that used to allow for browsing through previews of files in a folder. This worked in our on-prem AEM instance but after migrating to cloud, we have noticed the arrows do not do anything in our cloud instances. Have tried it in multiple instances with multiple browsers.Does anyone know how to enable these or whether this is a known bug?We do not have custom code for changing the alignment.Thanks,Robin 

I have an image in the resources folder in AEM called 'warning_triangle.png'.I want to include this using JavaScript.In the temporary files folder, the image is exported to:publish\templates\dita-templates\pdf\PRESET_NAME\warning_triangle.pngThe JavaScript runs on ‘mergedHTML.htm’ which exists at the same level as the publish folder,The only way I can access the image is to give the path to it but this will change dependent on the preset name.If I use:var hazardImage = 'warning_triangle.png';the image is not displayed in the resultant PDF. However if I use:var hazardImage = 'publish\templates\dita-templates\pdf\PRESET_NAME\warning_triangle.png';Is there a more standard way of accessing files in the resource folder without having to specify a path that includes the preset name and will vary?Alternatively, is there a way to access the preset name in the JavaScript so I can dynamically alter the publish path to include the current preset name?

The "Open in FrameMaker" option in our AEM Guides instance is showing up fine -- and it used to work for me. But lately (I think since upgrading versions of Guides and FrameMaker (to 2020), when I click "OPen in FrameMaker" to open either a .dita file or .ditamap file in FrameMaker, the screen just sort of blinks and then nothing happens. This happens to one of my coworkers as well, but is working properly for a handful of my other coworkers. I've checked that .dita and .ditamap files are set to open in Adobe FrameMaker 2020 by default on my system. I tried to allow pop-ups for our aem production instance. Any other ideas on why the OPen in FrameMaker option is not working for me and how to fix it? Thank you!

Hi All, Can someone provide a link to documentation for modifying PDF output in AEM. I see a lot of answers reference changes to CSS, but I am not sure where and how this all takes place in AEM. I am an AEM newbie. Thanks in advance. -Rick

For the standard note types the language variable text is set successfully so it appears in the prefix-content: <div class="note note" data-attr-type="note"><span class="prefix-content">Note: </span>This is a note of type 'note'</div> But for @14236791=other  @othertype I get: <div class="other note" data-attr-othertype="respiratory-warning" data-attr-type="other"><span class="prefix-content">Other: </span>This is a note of type 'other' with othertype set to respiratory-warning</div> The prefix-content is related to @14236791=other and not @othertype. Is there a way to set the language variable text for each @14236791=other @othertype combination?

Hi everybody,I'm an AEM (Sites and Guides, cloud version) user with a group of companies, with a long history, developing and supporting decades worth of consumer products. I've taken on the responsibility of coming up with a way of classifying all our products, assets, and deliverables throughout history for these companies. The products in particular can be classified according to the parent-child relationships you might find in a DAM's folder structure, such as:BrandFamilyGroupModel...but there's one other aspect I'm having trouble with: these products can vary over their lifespans. For example, a product with the same name might have a modification or internal design improvement that affects its technical documentation, and the service manuals etc. for such products would all need to be available on Sites, whether new or old, so that servicers can search for a product based on its serial number, and get the appropriate documentation, for any vintage of product. In the pas

I want to keep the page numbers in the TOC except for what is in Backmatter.I do want the Headings in Backmatter to appear in TOC... but again, not the "...... " and not the page number. How to accomplish this? Something to go into CSS like this? .toc-level-1.back-matter { ?????????}

Hi there! I'm trying to suppress some topics in a map from making it to the Native PDF output. For these topics, I'm using the attribute of print=no. Is there something that I need to set up in a stylesheet to prevent these topics showing up in the PDF? Is conditionalizing the only way to currently accomplish this? Can I utilize deliverytarget for this somehow?I have a similar question with the toc=no attribute. We had previously used this to suppress ToCs in our old system. Is there another method for making this work? Is another Native PDF template without the ToC the way to go? Thanks for your help!Josh

Open in FrameMaker" option exists when a a dita asset is check marked. We don't want that option to be enabled, so we have unchecked this option in configMgr. I have also tried cycling the setting on my instance but it has no impact on the behavior. Do we have any other workaround to get this option disable while marked on dita assets. Including that AEM Guides version has also been updated to 4.6.0.  Thanks in advance! Below are the screengrabs for your reference:  

Using JavaScript I would like to find out what the 'lang' attribute variable is set to. I have used:document.getAttribute('lang').value;document.head.parentNode.getAttribute('lang').value;document.body.parentNode.getAttribute('lang').value;document.querySelector('html').getAttribute('lang').value;without success. Is it possible and if so, how do I get the value? Thanks in advance Tony

Where PDFs will be printed there is a requirement to generate output PDFs with a page count which is a multiple of 4. Is there a way to count and add pages, if required? I know we can run a JavaScript script post pagination  - does this give us access to the page information which would allow us to expand the number of pages, if required?  

My 2 appendices are <topicref>'s in backmatter. <backmatter>     <topicref href="A.dita" type="topic"></topicref>     <topicref href="B.dita" type="topic"></topicref></backmatter> Appendix A      I want the page numbering to show in the footer "A-1, A-2, A-3..." for appendix AAppendix B      and "B-1, B-2, B-3..." for Appendix B. I have page numbers working fine but cannot seem to find a way to add the A or the B as a prefix.Secondly, I will need to restart the page numbering in Appendix B. How to accomplish this?

With existing custom profile configuration,  types are not resolved, which were working fine before. Please share the steps to resolve this issue. 

Hi folks, We are exploring the use cases of AEM Guides - I know we talk about content management via Component Content Management System but can anyone explain how it produces an edge over traditional AEM Sites. Is there any simulation project similar to We Retail or WKND for AEM Guides? thanks,

After creating a workflow and setting up the deadline for its completing, is there a way to edit the properties of this workflow? We use a custom workflow for approving PDF files that brings up a form wherein we fill in the details and set the due date for its completion. We have a business case where the authors would want to modify the due date after creating and assigning this workflow to the approvers.

This issue pertains to Email / AEM Inbox notifications configurations. Typically, when a review task is created and assigned to a reviewer, the system automatically triggers both Email and AEM Inbox notifications to the reviewers concerned. However, when a review task deadline is approaching near, the system should send the reminder notifications (3, 2,1 weeks before and then 3,2,1 days before) to the review task assignees.  How can we make this happen? Any thoughts? Thanks,K

Hi,I have created Ditamap with some topics linked in to it. After generating the AEMSite output preset, the details are not storing in the Destination Path of the AEMSite preset. Due to this unable read the metadata of the ditamap. Please suggest. Thanks

Hello!Is there a way to tell Native PDF to output its chapter numbers so that the PDF output shows them on the bookmarks tab? Right now I have the chapters autonumbered and they look/work well in the content, but the asset loses some clarity when there are no chapter numbers in the bookmarks pane.Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!Josh

I have searched the AEM Guides documentation, the AEM 6.5 documentation, and Experience League and I'm not seeing any details about managing AEM Projects. Is there another documentation source that I'm missing?We have more than 1000 Projects listed in the AEM repository's Projects folder, both AEM Projects and AEM Guides translation projects. Archiving doesn't seem to be an option for the completed translation Projects I've looked at. Are completed Projects supposed to be deleted? If so, this doesn't remove any of the files inside that Project, does it? How are completed Projects meant to be handled? Versions on Production (Prod)AEM Guides (UUID) 4.4 On-Prem Installation (24 Jun 2024)AEM 6.5.19 (Service Pack 19) On-Prem Installation (15 Jan 2024)
