| Request for Feature Enhancement (RFE) Summary: |
Ensure that share links for collections in AEM Assets dynamically update when the collection's visibility changes from Private to Public, reflecting the new path in the DAM structure.
|
| Use-case: |
As a user managing digital assets in AEM, I need to share collections with external stakeholders. When a collection initially created as Private is later made Public via Collection Settings, or vice versa, the previously generated share link should remain valid and point to the updated path in the DAM structure. This ensures uninterrupted access regardless of changes in the collection's visibility status.
Most of the time, share links are distributed to hundreds of people, especially in contexts like press releases or external communications. If the collection’s visibility changes, it is not acceptable to recreate and resend a new link. The original link must remain valid, as updating it would be unmanageable and could lead to confusion, broken access, and reputational impact.
|
| Current/Experienced Behavior: |
When a collection is created as Private and a share link is generated, the link points to the Private path. If the collection is later switched to Public, the DAM path changes, but the share link does not update accordingly. This results in a broken or inaccessible link. |
| Improved/Expected Behavior: |
The share link should automatically update to reflect the new Public path of the collection, ensuring that the link remains functional and continues to provide access to the collection after the visibility change.
