Hi All, 

We are in the process of migrating from AEM as Managed services to AEM as Cloud Services. I'm trying to understand if its necessary to convert existing Static Templates to Editable Templates. 

I am looking for insight on - 

1. Whether the conversion is Mandatory?

2. Considering the complexity of templates and migration timeline, what kind of issues might we face if we do not do ther conversion and use static templates as is

 

Any advice or experience shared would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks

Nj

Hi @nj2 The conversion to the editable templates is not mandatory, but the functionality will not run as expected as stateed by @aanchal-sikka.

Static templates might still work on AEMaaCS. I am saying based on the project I was working on 2 years ago.

 

However, please assure you do not have any dependency on Content Finder (old classic UI for page authoring. It might not work as expected on Cloud.

 

Please plan migrating to Editable templates and atleast start creating new content using Editable templates.

    @nj2 The templates may still work, but it is highly reccomended to move to Editable Template.
