Hi ,I am working on converting non MSM websites into MSM one, In that I have moved all my current site into language master,  When I am rolling out , many unwanted pages also got rolled out like sand box pages which were not originally published before. I want to customize roll out action in such a way , that I need to see the replication status of the page and roll out accordingly.  I tried following the approach mentioned in here https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/how-to-write-a-custom-rollout-config-which-when-gets-called-on/m-p/413884 , it is not helping me much. Is there any doc or method I could use to achieve the above requirement. Any leads are much appreciated. Thanks,Poovitha Selvaraj

I am currently trying to create redirects for a site that is being managed with Edge Delivery. When the source URL contains encoded entities (such as %20) or any special characters beside '-', I get a 404 error. When saving the spreadsheet with these redirects, the sheet saves fine and I see the JSON object with the valid and invalid redirects. For example:This works. Destination: /my-pageSource: /my-old-page ----These do not work.Destination: /my%20pageSource: /my-old-page Destination: /my+pageSource: /my-old-page Is this a known limitation of Edge Delivery? Are there any workarounds or does Edge Delivery require every URL to be in a slug style?

I am using the Open HTML component in AEM to add custom HTML .When I use <a> that includes URLs with special characters such as | in the query string (for example:https://www.example.com/search?query=location:ABC,DEF|date:2025-10-01~2025-10-31).However, I’ve noticed that these characters are either being blocked, removed, or not rendered correctly when I save or publish the content. I would prefer not to use URL encoding (e.g., %7C for |) 

Hello everyone,I hope you are well.We recently created a site with Adobe Experience Manager.We would like to create a form and we have created the PHP script, but we don't know how to add it to Adobe Experience Manager.In the template, we use the EmbeededContentIframe component, and can only add two types of content:1/ iframeendpoint (link to the PHP)2/ iframe scriptThe question is, is it possible to put the PHP code in Adobe Experience Manager (example: in assets and call it after)? Or how can we proceed if we don't want to put it on another server?Sincerely,

Is there any way to remove Header block for a specific page in EDS, currently it's being loaded on page load across all EDS pages

I’ve been testing blog implementations with Edge Delivery Services using Content Fragments exposed through GraphQL. While pagination and querying work fine (limit/offset on the API side), I’ve hit a wall with routing. Here’s the challenge:GraphQL gives me the Content Fragment path, not the page URL where that blog post should live.If I want a clean route structure like /blog/my-first-post, I end up needing to create a custom backend service that maps CFs to routes.This feels like a big technical limitation: the API is great for retrieving content, but for something as common as blog routing, it doesn’t provide the final URL. Has anyone solved this elegantly? Did you:Build your own routing layer?Use metadata inside the CFs to generate URLs?Or is there an Adobe-recommended way to bridge this gap?

I’m part of the AEM Dynamic Media team. We collaborate with customers and partners to promote the adoption of Dynamic Media and share the best practices. Occasionally, we notice customer concerns regarding blurry or dull images delivered through Dynamic Media. Upon investigating these cases, I’ve identified three common reasons that can be effectively resolved by applying a few straightforward best practices. In this article, I’ll outline these practices and demonstrate how Dynamic Media can transform a high-resolution 26 MB TIFF file into a sharp, vibrant 35.6 KB AVIF image.Three Reasons Behind Blurry ImagesIngesting low quality imagesWe’ve observed that customers often use JPEG files as input for Dynamic Media. However, since JPEG is a lossy compression format, image details are often lost early in the workflow—before the files are even ingested into Dynamic Media. As a result, these images may already exhibit issues such as banding or compression artifacts.Overlooking Image Sharpeni

We currently have the remote asset selector set up for Next Gen Dynamic Media, but for some reason we're only limited to images. Is there a way to enable other file types like PDFs? Not sure if there's a configuration responsible for this or something else.  

I am trying to set up a dedicated egress IP address, following the instructions on https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-learn/cloud-service/networking/dedicated-egress-ip-address .I am having trouble and I need help.

What is the latest aem-service-pkg-6.5 version and where can we update. We are using aem-service-pkg-6.5.21.

I’ve been exploring Edge Delivery Services (EDS) and I keep asking myself: what are the real-world scenarios where EDS provides value compared to just uploading HTML/CSS/JS files to a server with some user-editable content? From a developer’s perspective, a static site hosted on any CDN looks almost the same. However, EDS adds layers like:Authoring in Google Docs/Word or AEM Author → content creators can update without touching code.Automated publishing through Adobe’s edge network → no CI/CD pipeline to manage.Native connection to AEM workflows (translation, approvals, assets).Global caching and automatic image optimization.What I’d like to hear are real success stories:Has anyone here used EDS for a blog, microsite, or campaign site?How did EDS improve things compared to a static site on Netlify, Vercel, or S3?Did your marketing or authoring teams actually feel the difference?Would love to hear concrete examples.

New to AEM and curious on how to handle a basic task for scheduled content.So ideally we would like to schedule things like banners for offers however if we do this it means any other content published between now and the scheduled time (maybe some seo needs changing) will push all the scheduled changes live as well.As far as i can tell someone would have to undo the scheduled changes, make their changes and then re-apply the scheduled task. This can't be how other people are managing this so was hoping for a point in the right direction on the correct method.

I'm working on enforcing asset governance in AEM 6.5.23 AMS, specifically:- Blocking uploads based on MIME-type folder rules- Enforcing naming standards aligned with CloudFront CDN requirements- Suggesting correct names to authors via frontend validationI'm using a custom ClientLib to validate uploads in the Touch UI and show alerts when assets are uploaded to the wrong folder or have invalid names.Now, I want to extend this governance to **asset moves**:- How can I ensure authors move assets only to valid folders?- What’s the best way to **preserve and update references** (pages, components, metadata) when assets are moved?- Are there recommended workflows or tools to automate reference updates and avoid broken links?Any insights, patterns, or tools you’ve used successfully would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Team,One of our customer are planning to create a custom template for adaptive forms, could anyone provide any suggestions on how and what paths can be used for implementing this?All site pages related custom templates will be available under /conf/<tenant>/<site>. The default templates that are shown under adaptive forms are available under /conf/ReferenceEditableTemplates/settings/wcm/templates.Also, does any paths specifically are needed to achieve this requirement.Thanks & regards,Aishwarya Karthikeyan

Hi Their, Good day.Need to implement a search block for my site which is being built on AEM Edge Delivery Service (universal editor based). Please provide me useful link/videos/page resources explaining about extending the OOTB search block on EDS, how does it function, what are the best practices, how a search API endpoint is established which can be consumer by the search block.  Thanks,Tapas  

Test Automation on AEMaaCS (part 2) by @daniel-strmecki   Introduction In the first part of our test automation blog series, we explored why test automation is essential for AEM as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS), where continuous delivery and shared code ownership simply make manual testing inefficient. We covered the four pillars of a robust testing strategy:  Unit tests to catch backend bugs early UI tests to protect the end user and authoring experience Lighthouse tests to ensure great frontend performance and SEO Backend performance tests to validate scalability With these foundations in place, in the second part, we'll focus on automating test execution and reporting, turning strategy into action. First, we'll discuss which tooling options are available for writing and executing different types of tests in AEMaaCS. Then, we'll check which automation options are available in Cloud Manager. Finally, we'll demonstrate how to get this type of automati

Email Integration with OAuth SMTP  by Ashwini SatheOverviewAEM as a Cloud Service offers OAuth 2 support for its integrated Mail Service to allow organisations to adhere to secure email requirements. AEM’s DefaultMailService supports both Basic and OAuth 2 authentication. Basic authentication is easy to achieve but might not support modern security requirements. OAuth 2 is more secure than basic authentication.OAuth 2 support is available in AEM for multiple email providers like gmail, outlook etc. Here we will be mainly focusing on Microsoft Office 365 Outlook.Before we start with the setup, we need to consider below requirementsIs client SMTP public/internet or private/intranet? — If it is public, then we have to enable flexible egress in advanced networking on AEM as a Cloud Service. If it is private, then dedicated egress needs to be enabled and the dedicated IP needs to be whitelisted.Which SMTP port? — SMTP on ports 25/587/468 needs to be enabled by 

How to Programmatically Send Notifications to Users in AEMby NeerajI have always wondered how we could notify users after executing background logic using AEM Sling Jobs. Unlike workflows with built-in notification mechanisms, there didn’t seem to be a direct way to inform users once a job was completed. This led me to explore different options, and that’s when I came across the TaskManager API.So just for the context: AEM includes an Inbox feature that enables users to receive notifications for assigned tasks. While workflows automatically trigger these notifications, we can use TaskManager API to send these notifications programmatically Full ArticleRead the full article with implementation on https://medium.com/@neerajchaudhary856/how-to-programmatically-send-notifications-to-users-in-aem-c198673a89bf Q&APlease use this thread to ask questions relating to this article
