Adobe Experience Manager Assets

We're doing a POC for a multi-tenant SaaS application that integrates with Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service to enable bulk asset import functionality. Our application uses OAuth Web App authentication to access the AEM Assets Author API on behalf of authenticated users.Core Requirement:Our application needs to:Browse AEM folder structures List assets within selected folders Retrieve asset metadata (title, description, tags) Download original asset binariesCurrent Setup (Successfully Completed):✅ OAuth Web App credential configured in Adobe Developer Console ✅ Scopes: openid, AdobeID, aem.assets.author, aem.folders ✅ Client ID allowlisted via api.yaml deployed through Cloud Manager Config Pipeline ✅ User assigned to "AEM Assets Collaborator Users" Product Profile with "AEM Assets API Users" service enabled ✅ OAuth authentication flow working (successfully obtaining access tokens) ✅ Able to list folders using: GET /adobe/folders Issue - Unable to List Assets:adobe/assets?limit

Hi ,  looking for guidance on a Scene7 + asset publish flow.We have a custom workflow where:We programmatically trigger the Scene7 workflow to generate renditions.Once processing appears complete, we publish the asset.After publish, we call an API on the Publish instance to retrieve asset details.Since Scene7 processing is asynchronous, we added an event listener to monitor the Scene7 status as publishComplete , before triggering publish.However, we are still seeing inconsistent API responses from Publish, which makes us think there may be a timing/replication/indexing/cache gap somewhere in the flow.One recurring issue we’ve observed:The asset shows “Publish Complete” status on AuthorBut the same asset appears with “ReprocessStart” status on PublishWe’re trying to understand why this discrepancy occurs and what the recommended integration pattern is for ensuring Scene7 processing is truly complete before publish/API consumption. We have already enabled the OOTB Scene7ActivationJobCons

I want to exclude assets from AEM Dam search if value is set searchable=false.can I do this by customizing damAssetLucene index. I can exclude a path from search but how can I do based on a property.

Hi everyone,I’m working on a large-scale DAM migration in Adobe Experience Manager using CopyMoveAssetCommandBuilder, and I’m trying to understand the best strategy for maintaining publish consistency after asset moves.The main issue I’m facing is that CopyMoveAssetCommandBuilder updates references, but it does not seem to return the list of modified resources/paths affected by the operation (or at least I haven’t found a way to retrieve them).Example: Asset is moved from one DAM path to another References inside Content Fragments are updated Pages consuming those Content Fragments are indirectly affected However, I don’t have a reliable way to identify all modified resources that should be republished This becomes a major problem at scale because: Content Fragments may remain unpublished with stale references Pages consuming those fragments may also need republication The dependency chain can become quite large Manual traversal is expensive for hundreds of thousands of ass

Hi everyone,I’m working on a large-scale DAM migration in Adobe Experience Manager using CopyMoveAssetCommandBuilder.The main issue is that while references are updated during asset moves, I can’t find a way to retrieve all modified resources/paths affected by the operation.Example: Asset is moved Content Fragment references are updated Pages consuming those fragments are indirectly affected But I can’t reliably identify everything that should be republished At scale, this creates publish consistency concerns because Content Fragments and pages may remain published with stale references.What I’m trying to achieve: Detect impacted resources recursively Republish in controlled batches Track errors/audit results in DAM Retry failed republishes safely Questions: Is there a supported way to retrieve modified resources from CopyMoveAssetCommandBuilder? Are there recommended APIs/services for resolving downstream dependencies efficiently? Is Reference Search the recommended ap

We are interested in finding solutions to expose video content stored in an external file store like Azure storage through a common experience like Content Hub. Is something like this possible today or on a development roadmap? Additionally, do teams store native video assets in AEM Assets aaCS for this purpose?What other creative ways are teams storing and sharing video assets that we could consider adopting?

I have a requirement to add a custom column to the list view along with the other OOTB fields in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Cloud instance. Could anyone guide me on how to achieve this? I want to add a column with header Content-Type that will fetch the value from jcr:content/metadata/content-type.I could achieve this with the reorder.jsp file pointed here: https://experience-aem.blogspot.com/2019/10/aem-6520-aem-assets-add-custom-metadata-columns-in-assets-console-list-view.html but this does not work in AEM Cloud.Again, this URL also explains in another way : https://experience-aem.blogspot.com/2019/08/aem-6510-adding-custom-metadata-columns-in-list-view-of-assets-search-console.html but again this conflicts with OOTB behavior and breaks the search functionality in AEMaaCS.Any concrete solution that works on cloud?

Hello! I’m a researcher on Adobe’s Design Research & Strategy team. I am looking for participants who work with digital content and assets directly in AEM or other enterprise-level CMS platforms. Specifically, we want to speak with people who are creating, reviewing, and/or managing digital content themselves. We seek to learn more about how you create, review, or manage content, what friction points, if any, you experience, and how you might be leveraging AI to assist with your work.  Importantly, the design team also wants to get feedback on a new experience they’re considering building. If you think you’d be a good fit, reply here (please @ me so I’m notified) or email me at lauber@adobe.com 

When designers are using Asset Link to link to image files in the DAM via InDesign, the DAM is relating it to a duplicate image from a different path when the InDesign file is uploaded to the DAM. We have a current workflow that requires us to create duplicates. I am working on changing that workflow to eliminate the need for the duplicates but we aren't ready yet to do that. So my question is: When files with linked assets are uploaded to the DAM does AEM look for the first asset with that hash to relate it to or does it look for the one originally specified by Asset Link?

Hello, I have a user who has deleted assets in AEM before changing the status from ‘Approved’ to ‘Rejected’. This has resulted in the assets still appearing on Content Hub, with no way to remove them. Is there a way I can remove these assets from Content Hub? Thank you,Lana

We are building a solution in AEMaaCS to notify 3rd party system whenever a DAM asset is created, updated, or deleted — covering all asset types including images, documents, Content Fragments, and videos.Our approach uses AEM Eventing (Adobe I/O Events) with an Adobe I/O Runtime Action as the processor, which then forwards the event payload to 3rd party log monitoring system.One key question before we finalize the design:Will DAM asset events fire consistently from both the new Assets View console and the Classic Admin View (/assets.html)? Since both UIs share the same underlying DAM repository, we expect events to trigger regardless of which console is used — but would appreciate a confirmation.Any inputs from the community are welcome!https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-learn/cloud-service/aem-eventing/examples/event-processing-using-runtime-actionhttps://developer.adobe.com/experience-cloud/experience-manager-apis/api/stable/assets/author/#operation/asset_p

Hello, I have a user who seems to have all-but-Admin rights to AEM Assets, and has access to Content Hub. He is however unable to share Collections. When he creates a Collection, the only option for who has access is “Only you and admins can view and edit”. He says he has previously been able to create a collection and give public access, but this was only to one Collection. We’ve not been using Content Hub for too long so not sure what I might be missing!Thank youLana 

Hi all, I am relatively new to AEM. I apologize in advance for the long message. I am an admin/owner for our AEM account at my job. My question pertains to my users who aren’t admins themselves, specifically our design team. They are currently uploading folders from their computers to a specific folder in AEM and we need for them to be able to add an existing metadata profile to that folder they uploaded so they can then enter the appropriate metadata info. Are there ways for users to do this, or do they need to be admins?I have created a custom folder metadata profile in Tools > Folder Metadata Schemas. Through Folder Metadata Schema Forms I am able to select this custom profile I created and then apply it to any folder in our AEM space. When I ran some testing with one of my users, they were able to access Folder Metadata Schema Forms through Tools, however they didn’t have the ability to apply the schema to a folder (presumably because they aren’t admin level). Is there a way for

When an image in DAM is moved from folder 1 to folder 2, we see that the content pages with references to the images are updated but the content fragments are not updated. Is there a way to make sure that anytime an image is moved, the references of the image in Content Fragments are also updated? I am using AEMaaCS. Thanks, David.

Hi,We have used Asset Insights to obtain basic asset measurements. Is there a way to combine these measurements in a more expanded way using Adobe Analytics, CJA, and Workfront?Also, is there a way to integrate data from all four sources—Asset Insights, Adobe Analytics, CJA, and Workfront?Thanks. 

Does anyone know if there is a way to link AEM Assets Collection with Adobe Express Library?  

A third-party penetration test flagged that PDF files downloaded from our AEM publish instance contain embedded metadata revealing software version information (e.g., Adobe InDesign 19.5, Adobe PDF Library 17.0, Adobe XMP Core 9.1). The security team requires this metadata to be stripped before the file is served to end users.We are requesting Adobe's official confirmation that AEM as a Cloud Service does not modify or strip metadata embedded within the binary content of uploaded DAM assets, and guidance on the recommended approach. What We Tried 1. Removed XMP metadata properties from the JCR metadata node2. Deleted the entire metadata node
