Hi @Anilkumar9,

It’s possible the policies haven't been properly deployed or linked.

Please try the following steps:

1. Verify if the policies are deployed on your instance via CRXDE Lite at /conf/your-site/settings/wcm/policies/....

   • Check if your container component's policy exists.

   • Make sure the policy path is correctly referenced in the component via cq:policy.

2. If the policy is missing or not working:

   • Delete all the policies under your site config (/conf/your-site/settings/wcm/policies/...).

   • Rebuild or redeploy the template/policy structure to reset them.

3. Also ensure your filter.xml includes the policies and template-types nodes so they're deployed from your codebase to AEM.

Sometimes, even if everything looks correct, the UI won’t show allowed components unless the policy linkage is established properly in CRX.

Hi @Anilkumar9 
You need to reference the policy in the template

Example:

Policy : https://github.com/arunpatidar02/aemaacs-aemlab/blob/e31fc62bfd147e56ecaca740c6e2739c66c75f75/ui.con... 

Above Policy used in Template :https://github.com/arunpatidar02/aemaacs-aemlab/blob/e31fc62bfd147e56ecaca740c6e2739c66c75f75/ui.con...

Hi @Anilkumar9 ,

According to my understanding, In Editable Templates, cq:designDialog is ignored, so your allowed-components setup won’t work. Instead, you must define allowed components via the Template Editor's policies. I think you can try to configure allowed components using the Editable Template’s policy editor.
