Hello,

The new location(s) of  /etc/designs/default are:

- /libs/settings/wcm/designs/default or

- /apps/settings/wcm/designs/default

For any Designs that are managed in SCM, and not written to at run-time via Design Dialogs.

1. Copy the designs from the Previous Location to the New Location (/apps).

2. Convert any CSS, JavaScript and static resources in the Design to a Client Library with allowProxy = true.

3. Update references to the Previous Location in the cq:designPath property.

4. Update any Pages referencing the Previous Location to use the new Client Library category (this requires updating Page implementation code).

5. Update AEM Dispatcher rules to allow the serving of Client Libraries via the /etc.clientlibs/.. proxy servlet.

For any Designs that NOT managed in SCM, and modified run-time via Design Dialogs.

Do not move author-able Designs out of /etc.

Please refer to official docs [1] and [2] for more details.
