HI @testtttt1 ,

As of my last update, there isn't a direct option to publish assets from the Collections console in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM). The primary purpose of the Collections console is to organize and manage collections of assets, rather than performing publishing actions.

However, you can achieve a similar outcome by performing the following steps:

  1. Select Assets in Collection: Navigate to the Collections console and select the assets you want to publish.

  2. Add Assets to Workflow: Use the "Start Workflow" option available in the Collections console to initiate a custom workflow. Configure the workflow to include a step for publishing the selected assets.

  3. Custom Workflow Step: Create a custom workflow step that handles the publishing of assets. This step would typically involve invoking the necessary AEM APIs or services to trigger the publishing process for the selected assets.

  4. Publishing Logic: Within the custom workflow step, implement the logic to publish the selected assets. This may involve publishing the assets directly or adding them to a publish queue for later publishing.

  5. Workflow Completion: Once the workflow completes execution, the selected assets should be published according to the logic defined in the custom workflow step.

By utilizing custom workflows and incorporating publishing logic within them, you can effectively publish assets from the Collections console in AEM. However, this approach requires development effort to implement the custom workflow and publishing logic according to your specific requirements.

Hi, 

I don't think so. The main goal of Collections is to group assets for sharing with other users, so my thought is that publishing is not part of this process.


Here you can learn more about collections: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/assets/manage/manage-collections 

 

Hope this helps
