Hi Team,

 

Is there any restriction on aem page annotations, that it will work only when layout container is a wrapper container for the page?

I can only annotate on a page using aem OOTB annotation plugin, if the wrapper component on the page is ootb layout container.

Steps for annotate a page without layout container as wrapper component in it-

1. Create an aem page

2. Drag and drop any component, may be richtext

3. Try to annotate the page. - The add event for annotate won't get triggered. Unable to add annotation

 

Steps for annotate a page with layout container as wrapper component in it-

1. Create an aem page

2. Drag and drop General->layout container component onto the page

3. Drag and drop any component may be rich text component inside the layout container

4. Try to annotate the page. - Able to annotate successfully.

    Hi @manisha594391,

    Steps mentioned under "without layout container on page" says "Drag and drop any component". Are you referring to custom container component or parsys component.

        @nikhil-kumar The link only mentions about how to use annotation. It does not talk about those details I am looking for

        Thanks for suggestions team !! I found the RCA.

        The issue is occurring because of cq:placeholder class.

        The components I was trying to drag and drop were having cq:placeholder class added to there rendering htmls. Henceforth the annotations does not work there.

        This is a known issue. The annotations does not work with cq:placeholder. Refer the below community article for details
