Hi I an trying to set up my local machine with Universal editor , I tried with AEM 6.5.23 and AEM as Cloud SDK, but none of them work, I did follow all these steps from these two links 

AEM CS: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/implementing/dev...

AEM 65 : https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-65/content/implementing/developing/hea...

atleast i was able to get to this far with AEM CS as below screenshot, I am getting 404 error, any thoughts what am i missing here?

Hi @kedar0910,

Could you confirm all the bundles related to Universal editors are active specially:

com.adobe.cq.universal-editor
com.adobe.cq.universal-editor-proxy

If you missed: 

  • For AEM SDK (Cloud): Download and install the latest Universal Editor Service-vX.X.X.zip from Software Distribution.

  • For AEM 6.5.23: You also need the 6.5 compatibility package for Universal Editor + latest service pack.

and worth to check /system/console/configMgr for:
Adobe Granite Universal Editor Proxy Configuration
Ensure it’s enabled and pointing to the UE host.

I did download Universal Editor Service v20250807174853.zip and all it have is a .cjs to run the node service locally, there is nothing related to universal editor config or any content related to universal editor.

@kedar0910 Can you confirm that /mnt/overlay/granite/ui/content/shell exists in CRXDE? If it doesn’t, it means the UI content package hasn’t been installed.
