Hi,
In manage publication when a page needs to be published by author, the request will be sent to approver.
In AEM cloud is there any way when a page is modified by an author and an approval for publish is requested, the approver should be able to see the page(s) with the modifications highlighted.
Thanks.

Hi @SRC_AEM_DEV
You can use OOTB Page Difference feature, that presents content modification/changes in visual way. Please have a look into below tutorial/documentation that explains how to utilize this feature:

@SRC_AEM_DEV : I think page annotations can be used here. Please refer documentation on how to apply this to your pages: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/sites/authoring/fun...
Content authors can annotate/highlight section/components of the page which are updated and even specify through text/color what was updated. Content approver(s) when access this page to review, can look at the annotations and that may help them to identify what to look at for review.
As you would see, this is a manual step and authors or approvers will have to delete the annotations once they are done with the review cycle. For the next iteration of changes, same process can be repeated.
thanks.

Hi @SRC_AEM_DEV
Yes, it is possible to highlight the modifications made by an author when an approval for publish is requested. This can be achieved using the "Track Changes" feature in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM).
Here are the steps you can follow to enable Track Changes and highlight modifications made by an author:
1. Open the page that has been modified by the author in AEM.
2. Click on the "Edit" button to open the page in edit mode.
3. Click on the "Track Changes" button in the top toolbar. This will enable Track Changes mode.
4. Make the necessary modifications to the page.
5. Save the changes and close the page.
6. Request approval for publish by clicking on the "Request Publication" button.
7. The approver will receive a notification and can open the page in AEM.
8. In the top toolbar, the approver can click on the "Track Changes" button to view the modifications made by the author. The modifications will be highlighted in yellow.
9. The approver can review the modifications and either approve or reject the request for publication.
To use "Track Changes" option, I'm not able to find the button in AEM sites. Do we need AEM guides add-on to achieve this?
Hi @SRC_AEM_DEV , Yes there is a way.
1. Using "Changes Made by Author" and Track Changes:
This approach combines built-in AEM features and requires minimal configuration.
a) For Authors:
b) For Approvers:
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
2. Using CQ Live Copy with Custom Diff View:
This approach offers a more interactive and detailed comparison experience but requires custom development.
a) Setup:
b) Workflow Process:
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
Choosing the Right Option:
Remember, both options will highlight page modifications for approvers in your AEM Publish workflows. The best choice depends on your specific needs and development resources.
