Classic AEM manual
The classic AEM manual is split into sections: Working environments, General overview pages, AEM components and FAQ. See table of contents with search bar to find your topic.
Touch UI is now available. It 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.
For information on the new wide Homepage and its components, go to the new Touch UI manual.
