AEM Assets Timeline doesn't display all level of changes

Request for Feature Enhancement (RFE) Summary: This ticket addresses issues with the AEM asset timeline and revision tracking not displaying all changes, focusing on understanding limitations and potential solutions.
Use-case:

 

  • Karen Barton (AWC Librarian) reported that asset overwrites by Jeff Hess were not shown in the timeline, causing tracking frustration.
  • Sainikhil Reddy (Bounteous Dev) explained AEM timeline shows workflow/publication events but not all low-level edits without custom versioning or audit listeners.
  • Sarah Scalia (Bounteous) noted implementing such custom workflows in AEM as a Cloud Service is complex, estimated as a 15-point effort.
  • The asset metadata like "Modified" and "Modified By" is visible in column and list views but not in card or insight views.
  • Current consensus is that timeline limitations are due to AEM core behavior; custom solutions would require significant development effort.
Current/Experienced Behavior: timeline does not show all levels of changes
Improved/Expected Behavior: timeline should show changes of any capacity to each asset
Environment Details (AEM version/service pack, any other specifics if applicable): AEM Assets Cloud
