Adobe EDS Migration | Doc authoring pages to Universal Editor page

Avatar

Level 7

Hello Folks,

 

I have doc based authoring pages, now I need to convert to universal editor pages. 

Do we have any Adobe provided tools or ACS commons tools/features which can automate this process?

 

Please share the insights if anyone has done something around such requirement 

 

Thanks,

Pradeep

Hi @pradeepdubey82,

 

No, unfortunately, there is currently no official Adobe tool or ACS AEM Commons feature that automatically converts Document-based Authoring pages into Universal Editor-based pages.

 

You are dealing with a transition from:

  • Document-based Authoring (Docs-based pages)
    Pages authored in tools like Google Docs, transformed into HTML via the Franklin pipeline.
  • Universal Editor (UE) Authoring
    AEM-native visual editor interface that maps editable components (UE Blocks) to semantic HTML elements.

This is not a 1:1 migration. The underlying authoring model and content storage approach are different.

 

To automate content migration I guess you need to use custom Node js scripts.

Hi @pradeepdubey82 

You can try importer tool built by Adobe for EDS migration.

Note : it may not work 100% .
