Access or export old versions of sites content to file

Question

Hello AEM team,

I have a collection of policies (thousands) published through AEM. Each of these policies has as many as 10 older versions of the current one.

I am in need of extracting the older versions text content due to litigation. Do you know of a way to export the content from older versions as text or HTML or PDF files?

Hi @clintg6 ,

As you have more than 1000 policies, do not suggest manual extraction.

You can extract with a simple custom solution.

Fetch the older version of nodes using path and jcr:created identifier.
Once you get the list of node paths, appending path with .infinity.json should extract the content. /content/nodeName/jcr_content.infinity.json
Copy the required content to any text document.

Although it will depend on what you want to do with the extracted content as html, but you can get the content as xml files by packaging up from the package manager or by pulling them into your projects content folder using some IDE plugin and then convert the extracted xml files to html.
