We recently lost access to our WF connection within outlook but still have our connection with Teams (THANK GOODNESS!) Is there any forseeable improvements that will open up opportunity for Outlook connections, Loop connections etc.? Even better, upgrades to the teams options such as submitting a request like we could in the Outlook add-on that we lost. Would really help streamline communications and collaborations for our company!

I have been using Adobe Analytics for more than a decade, so I know exactly how I feel about using it in comparison to what's now been happening with Customer Journey Analytics for the past number of years. My question now goes out to my fellow community of users.  What is/are the biggest challenge(s) you face or have faced with Adobe Analytics/CJA, and how have you chosen to address them?  In fact, are you addressing them?  Do you still have unanswered questions? Super interested to hear your thoughts! In fact, feel free to -  

In our AEM 6.4.3.0 Author instance we are seeing a lot of generated workflow packages (~1800) in /etc/workflow/packages. Much more than there are running workflow instances. The Workflow Purge is configured to remove COMPLETED workflows older than 30 days but this doesn't seem to remove associated workflow packages.Is there a way to get rid of the old workflow packages?

Happy #NewToolTuesday for all those who celebrate 🙂 Introducing the Smart Report beta in the Taailored for Workfront plugin! Smart Reports gives admins and end users the ability to turn natural language prompts into Workfront reports. This is great for admins making complex reports, like pulling tasks and issues into the same pie graph, or end users who are not native to the Workfront reporting area. Also feel free to check out my last post to see what else the Taailored for Workfront plugin can do.

We all use Adobe Analytics (or CJA) day in and day out. And, let’s be honest, most of us are probably at least a little bit nerdy. I’m willing to bet that you’ve got a favourite feature (or two or three). So, let’s nerd out a little bit about our favourites - what is your go-to feature? Why do you think it’s the best? Why do you think everyone should be using it?   Is it a certain visualization that helps explore your data? Is it a type of segment or metric that you like to build? Or is it the way you set up your processing rules?   It probably comes as no surprise to anyone who has seen me talk at Summit or in the Skill Exchange, but my favourite feature is using functions in calculated metrics (and metric building in general). A lot of the functions are vastly underused, but they’re super powerful and can definitely help you up your reporting game. Building custom metrics is already a pretty powerful tool, but with the added use of the functions, it's a whole other level. F

Page specific clientlibs in AEM   by @mukeshyadav_  Dear AEM Community,I would like to share a useful solution for enabling page-level control over Client-Side Libraries (Clientlibs) in AEM. Problem Overview: AEM by default allows authors to manage Clientlibs at the template level and component level but there are cases where authors may need the same level of control at the page level. For example, when using JavaScript libraries like Vue.js or React or any micro-frontend module, it is inefficient to load these libraries globally for every page. Additionally, managing the order and placement of these Clientlibs for optimized DOM rendering  that is it should load the clientlibs in footer which is ideal for perfect DOM rendering and performance of the page Solution Overview: The solution involves creating a custom page properties that allows authors to control the Clientlibs at the page level without affecting other pages of the same templates. Key Steps: C

Hi all,I'm facing an issue with Universal Editor connecting to my local AEM Author. I'm following react headless tutorial with wknd boilerplate and running local-ssl-proxy --source 8443 --target 4502 / local-ssl-proxy --source 8001 --target 8000 /  node universal-editor-service.cjs as recommended. Even so, after added the data-aue-prop, data-aue-type, and data-aue-label (instrument-to-edit-content) the editor tries to fetch CF details from 8443 when selecting the "team members" component and get status 302 with no body to the following endpoints:https://localhost:8443/content/dam/my-project/en/john-doe.4.jsonhttps://localhost:8443/content/dam/my-project/en/alison-smith.4.jsonStill able to add, remove and edit the members and every property of the teams component. But for selecting a CF from the modal I have no options to DAM folders and the same 302 issue in the network console to the following endpoint:https://localhost:

From my understanding, it is common to create multiple content fragments of an object in order to support multiple languages. However, when doing so, we will result in multiple content fragment UUIDs. In such a case, what is the best way to associate these content fragments so that we know they are just different translations of the same object? I have thought of 2 different approaches. 1) Simply using the native "title" field as an ID field, input the same value for the multi-lingual content fragments- This seems to work, but I am not sure if the field should be used as such. And if this will break certain AEM structure in the long run. 2) Adding a custom field called "id" and inputting the same value for the multi-lingual content fragments To be honest, it seems like the AEM content fragment is relatively weak in handling multi-lingual. Other solutions in the market usually bundle all languages in a single object... Or did I miss out some basic principles in

We'd like to build common layout patterns as experience fragments so that an author can drop in a pattern and then break the connection to the XF so that they can directly edit the content on the page. For example, a pattern of heading + 3-columns + cards in each column, or a pattern for a campaign page using an image hero, HTML block, text, icon tiles for unique selling points. We want to do this in order to avoid having to build multiple different templates - that wouldn't give us the flexibility we're looking for as then we have to maintain multiple templates unnecessarily. However, I can't see an option to break the connection to the original XF (eg with an inheritance chain disconnection). I thought this existed but is this only when creating launches?Keen to know if anyone has ideas about how to achieve what I am trying to do.

Hello community, most of users in our instance complain for terrible system performance today. Sometimes WF pages won't load at all, sometimes it would take minutes, sometimes they get errors, and finally sometimes it would just load fine. This seems to be independent of geo location, browser used, internet speed etc. Are you having similar problems today? If confirmed this will hopefully help to escalate with the support as for now they don't see any issue.  Let me know and thanks in advance 

This is one of my favorite scenarios to date and it is very simple to create yourself. I always hated looking up the system status codes and also love having all my fusion data in one spot. This scenario gets all statuses and puts them into a report that is then added to a dashboard. I have multiple reports that are related to any and all WF IDs including this.Outcome: 

The WUG Colorado Chapter kicked off its first session on Aug. 27, 2025.  Thank you to everyone that attended and registered for the event.  Attached is the deck materials we covered including the links and polls we went through.  We will communicate our next event shortly and based on some topic discussion it may be focused on Fusion (How can it help?  How can I learn?) and possibly some advanced reporting (textmode) thoughts.  If any of you have ideas for things to cover in the next event or may you have a use case you'd like to share to get insights and input from the collective...either way...reply here with those ideas so all can consider.

We continually experience 'proof sync' issues whereby proofs have been approved, but the user's widget is not updated. This is creating huge user dissatisfaction at our senior leadership level. We've been told this is a 'known issue' which is over a year old:This problem is a known issue, that our product team is aware of. This is being addressed in an overall reworking of the proof system. This will be part of a future release and is too complicated a fix to attempt to correct in a bug. We're told to 'self monitor' and open a ticket for each case. We are now at minimum of 3 instances since we started tracking.Is anyone else having this constant issue? Adobe: What is the target fix date?  We've been told for months that 'new and enhanced' proofing is coming. WHERE IS IT?
