AEM Touch UI Manual
Adobe Experience Manager's 'classic' backend interface has been deprecated and is soon being replaced with the new 'Touch UI' interface.
Both Classic and TouchUI will run simultaneously for the next few months so that existing authors have a chance to get familiar with the new user interface of the backend.
The Touch UI is required to edit the new wide Homepage template and for all wide content pages in order to see and use all new components. For legacy home and content page templates, you can still reference this Classic manual, but we encourage you to switch all pages before the classic UI is shutdown at the end of the year or beginning of next year. Once shut down, classic pages will be read only and require the switch in order to update the page.
We encourage all authors to use the Touch UI as much as possible during this dual time period in order to gain familiarity with it. The new Touch UI AEM manual is fairly comprehensive. There are a few components where the Classic information can still be referred to until the manual or development is complete. A full table of contents of the Touch UI manual is available below with a search bar to help find content and a Download AEM Touch UI Quick Reference Guide (PDF, 982 KB) is available for download.
When working in Touch, you can still use the Classic manual during this dual UI period.
