How to use Blog Feature from Communities?

[vitor45]

Hello everyone!

I am new to AEM and I have read the following documentation about the Blog Feature - https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-65/communities/authoring/blog-feature.htm... - but I did not understand, the documentation has some "setup" redundant links and I couldn't find a way to really understand (and use) what is Communities and its features.

How can I use the Blog feature? How can I install the Communities features in my local instance and in my Cloud Manager Instance?

Thanks in advance!

Please be aware that Adobe does not currently offer support for AEM communities on Cloud Service.

Hello!

Thank you for the support!

As I said, I read the links you shared and could not understand how to install and use, neither in Cloud Manager nor in Local instance. At the end of the setup link I could not see the Communities Components installed and working.

Thank you!

Hi @vitor45, Is the "Communities" section visible in the global navigation?

[vitor45]

No, it is not.

Editing: Sorry for the repeated question! Just deleting it!

If you're referring to AEM as a Cloud Service, Communities feature is NOT available.

Accessible within AEM 6.5 Service Pack editions. No additional add-ons need to be installed; it's included by default.
