no option to open the Classic View on a page in AEM 6.3

Hi All,

We don't see an option  "Open in Classic UI" no more in drop-down; was this removed in AEM 6.3? If Yes, is there any workaround to show that option? Thanks

Regrads,
Aman

    Hi Agarwal,

    It' Simple follow below steps.

    To re-enable the option Open in Classic UI in the Page Information menu, follow these steps.

    1. Using CRXDE Lite, find the following node: /libs/wcm/core/content/editor/jcr:content/content/items/content/header/items/headerbar/items/pageinfopopover/items/list/items/classicuiFor examplehttp://localhost:4502/crx/de/index.jsp#/libs/wcm/core/content/editor/jcr%3Acontent/content/items/content/header/items/headerbar/items/pageinfopopover/items/list/items/classicui
    2. Using the Overlay Node option, create an overlay under /apps as follows:/apps/wcm/core/content/editor/jcr:content/content/items/content/header/items/headerbar/items/pageinfopopover/items/list/items/classicui
    3. Add the following multi-value text property to the overlaid node:sling:hideProperties = ["granite:hidden"]
    4. The Open in Classic UI option is again available in the Page Information menu when editing pages.

        Correct - AEM Is moving away from Classic UI. Therefore the option was removed the drop-down.

        Adobe recommends that you start using AEM Touch UI in 6.3.

        It has improved a lot since it was 1st released back in 5.6.

        If you really want to keep using it - modify editor.html in the URL to cf#.

        Hope this helps....
