My client is already having a few sites on AEM as a Cloud Service platform. They wish to bring in few more sites now on to the platform, but with EDS and UE features enabled along with Document Based Authoring.
As obvious, their existing sites are all based on Editable Templates & Sightly Components. I plan to instrument those components for Universal Editor. But here are a few questions I have in my mind -
- How do the content editors author new EDS blocks/sections on those normal AEM Sites pages given that those site pages were not developed on EDS Site template and are based on parsys from drag-n-drop which UE does not recognize. Even on editing all such pages (2000+) from AEM Sites Console, Universal Editor does not open up automatically.
- How does the blocks created on Google Doc / Word documents map to the blocks that we will be developing on EDS client-side codebase so that once the pages are created using Document based authoring, Content Editors can edit them further using Universal Editor ? On Update using UE the content needs to get updated back on File system ?
- Is there a chance of Dirty Read/Write of Documents when concurrent authors are operating simultaneously on the same document ?
- Can there be multiple mountpoints mapped to a single EDS application based on page path ? Like /content/abc - mount from AEM Author, I need to save all changes back on JCR for anything update under this path, /content/xyz - mount content from File Drive, I need all changes to reflect on Google / Word Doc ?
