Authoring logs for content in our Adobe Cloud Services AEM

Hello

 

I hope I have posted this question in the correct place. My team uses the Adobe Cloud Services version of AEM.

 

I am trying to see if there is a way to develop a field within AEM for my authors to update every time they edit content on a page. I am not sure if that is something that already exists within AEM or would need custom development. This field would NOT be visible on the public facing side but would only be internal for our authors to use. 

 

If that is possible, is there any documentation that you could provide?

Hi @grantha 
Yes, you can utilise page properties to store metadata.

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-learn/sites/page-authoring/page-properties-feature-video-understand 

 

However you need to add new field in the page properties and may need to write a java if there is any automatic/event based updating.

    Hi Arun,

     

    I am aware of page properties, but what I was looking for was on the "column view" (aka the "tree view") of our content, and not something inside of the properties. Is that feasible or no?

      Hi @grantha 
      You may need a customisation, something like https://aemlab.blogspot.com/2022/07/aem-authoring-page-status-visualisation.html 

      For list view you can add custom field esaly but it is tricky for column view

        Hi @grantha 

         

        You can try using annotations for this requirement. Please refer this link - https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/sites/authoring/page-editor/annotations#:~:text=To%20aid%20this%20feedback%20process,for%20other%20authors%20and%20reviewers. for how you can enter into annotations mode and add comments.

         

        Thanks

        Narendra

          Thank you for the documentation. The annotations would not work for us but appreciate your recommendation!

            what would like to store in that field? And what should this information get used for?
