How to use Blog Feature from Communities?

Avatar

Level 2

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!

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.

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?
