Once your page is created (either new or as part of a launch or live copy) you can edit the content to make the updates you require.
Content is added using components (appropriate to the content type) that can be dragged onto the page. These can then be edited in situ, moved or deleted. The actual mechanics of editing a page depends on the UI you are using.
ملاحظة:
Your account needs the appropriate access rights and permissions to edit pages; for example, adding, editing or deleting components, annotating, unlocking.
If you encounter any problems we suggest you contact your system administrator.
تحذير:
When using the touch-optimized UI links in the content are visible, but not accessible in Edit mode. Use Preview mode if you want to navigate using your links.
ملاحظة:
If your page and/or template has been appropriately set up, then you can use responsive layouting when editing.
The page toolbar offers access to the appropriate functionality, dependent on the page configuration.


The toolbar available when editing a page holds the following options and information:
- Toggle Side Panel
This opens/closes the side panel, which holds the Asset and Component browsers.
- Emulator
Can be used to emulate the look-and-feel of the page on another device (mobile).
- Page Information
Provides access to information about the page and actions that can be taken on the page; including, for example, viewing and editing page information, publishing/unpublishing the page.
- ContextHub
Opens the context hub.
- Page Title
This is purely informational.
- Select another mode
Allows you to select another mode; for example edit, scaffolding, targeting, developer.
- Preview
Allows you to select preview mode; this displays the page as it will appear when published.
- Annotate
Allows you to add annotations to the page; for example, when reviewing a page. After the first annotation, the icon will switch to a number indicating the number of annotations on the page.
The component placeholder is an indicator to show where a component will be positioned when you drop it - above the component you are currently hovering over.
You can add a new component by using the component browser. The component placeholder shows you where the component will be positioned:
-
Make sure that your page is in Edit mode.
-
Open the component browser.
-
Drag the required component to the required position.
-
Edit the component.
You can also add a new component to the page by dragging an asset from the assets browser. This will automatically create a new component of the appropriate type (and containing the asset).
This is valid for the following asset types (some will be dependent on page/paragraph system):
Asset Type | Resultant Component Type |
---|---|
Image | Image |
Document | Download |
Product | Product |
Video | Flash |
Content Fragment | Content Fragment |
ملاحظة:
This behaviour can be configured for your installation; see Configuring a Paragraph System so that Dragging an Asset Creates a Component Instance for further details.
-
Make sure that your page is in Edit mode.
-
Open the asset browser.
-
Drag the required asset to the required position. The component placeholder shows you where the component will be positioned.
A component, appropriate for the asset type, will be created at the required location - it will contain the selected asset.
-
Edit the component if required.
Selecting a component will open the toolbar. This provides access to various actions that can be performed on the component (actions will be shown as appropriate).
ملاحظة:
If you are authoring Target components you can find information here.

- Edit (pencil)
Dependent on the component type this will allow you to edit the content of the component. Often a toolbar will be provided. - Configure (spanner)
Dependent on the component type this will allow you to edit and configure the properties of the component. Often a dialog will be opened. - Copy (two sheets of paper)
This will copy the component to the clipboard ready for pasting. After the paste action the original component will still remain.
- Cut (scissors)
This will copy the component to the clipboard ready for pasting. After the paste action the original component will be removed. - Delete (trash can)
This action will require your confirmation, before the component is deleted from the page. - Insert Component (plus symbol)
Open the dialog to add a new component.
- Paste (clipboard) (visible when you have a component in your clipboard)
This will paste the component from the clipboard to the page. Whether the original remains, depends on whether you used copy or cut.
With the touch-optimized UI you can paste to the same, or a different page; if you paste to a different page that was already open before the cut/copy operation you will need to refresh that page. - Multi-select (two boxes within a frame)
This allows you to select multiple components at once.
There are two methods of adding and/or editing content in components:
- Open the component dialog for editing.
- Drag and drop an asset from the assets browser to directly add content.
You can open a component to edit the content using the Edit (pencil) icon of the component toolbar.
The exact edit options will depend on the component (and for some components all actions will only be available in full screen mode). For example:
-
ملاحظة:
Editing does not work on an empty image component.
You must drag or upload an image (using Configure) before you can start to edit it.
For specific component types you can drag and drop assets from the asset browser directly into the component to update the content:
Asset Type | Component Type |
---|---|
Image | Image |
Document | Download |
Product | Product |
Video | Flash |
Content Fragment | Content Fragment |


ملاحظة:
For some components, the full screen mode will have more options available than the basic in-place editior.
ملاحظة:
You can also use Cut and Paste to move a component.
Inherited components can be the product of various scenarios, including:
- Multi site management
- Launches (when based on live copy).
- Specific components; for example the Inherited Paragraph System within Geometrixx.
You can cancel (then re-enable) the inheritance. Depending on the component, this can be available from:
The Live Copy Status page mode allows you a quick overview of the live copy status and which components are/are not inherited:
- Green border: Inherited
- Pink border: Inheritance has been cancelled
For example:

Annotations allow reviewers and other authors to provide feedback on your content. They are often used for review and validation purposes.
There are now two methods for previewing page:
- Preview Mode - a quick preview in situ
- View as Published - a full preview that opens the page in a new tab
ملاحظة:
Links in the content are visible, but not accessible in Edit mode. Use either of the publish mechanisms if you want to navigate using your links.
ملاحظة:
The WCM Mode cookie is set for both mechanisms.
When editing content you can preview the page using the preview mode. This mode:
- Hides various edit mechanisms to give you a quick view of how the page will appear on publish.
- Allows you to use links to navigate.
- Does not refresh the page content.
When authoring with the touch-optimized UI, the preview mode is available using the icon at the top right of the page editor:

The View as Published option is available from the Page Information menu. This opens the page in a new tab, refreshes the content and shows the page exactly as it will appear in the publish environment.
AEM allows you to lock a page, so that no-one else can modify the contents. This is useful when you are making a lot of edits to one specific page, or when you need to freeze a page for a short while.
تحذير:
Locking a page should be used with care as the only person who can unlock a page is the person who locked it (or an account with administrator privileges).
-
Sites console
- Select the page with selection mode.
- Select the lock icon.
Once locked the console view information is updated and when editing a lock symbol is shown in the toolbar.
Unlocking a page is very similar to locking the page - once the page is locked the lock options are replaced by unlock actions.
Additionally the toolbar of the page editor shows a lock symbol. This provides both a visual indication that the page is locked and quick access to the unlock action.
The following icons allow you to undo or redo an action. These are shown in the toolbar when appropriate:

ملاحظة:
See Undoing and Redoing Page Edits - The Theory for the full details of what is possible when undoing and redoing page edits.
The sidekick is a key tool when authoring pages with the classic UI. It floats when authoring a page, so it is always visible.
Several tabs and icons are available, including:
- Components
- Page
- Information
- Versioning
- Workflow
- Modes
- Scaffolding
- Client Context
- Websites

After you open the page, you can start to add content. You do this by adding components (also called paragraphs).
To insert a new component:
-
There are several methods of selecting the type of paragraph you want to insert:
- Double-click the area labeled Drag components or assets here... - the Insert New Component toolbar opens. Select a component and click OK.
- Drag a component from the floating toolbar (called sidekick) to insert a new paragraph.
- Right-click an existing paragraph and select New... - the Insert New Component toolbar opens. Select a component and click OK.
- Double-click the area labeled Drag components or assets here... - the Insert New Component toolbar opens. Select a component and click OK.
-
In both the sidekick and the Insert New Component toolbar you see a list of the available components (paragraph types). These may be split into various sections (for example, General, Columns, etc.), which can be expanded as required.
Depending on your production environment, these choices may differ. For complete details on components, see Default Components.
This is comparable to Inserting a Component using the Assets Browser - Touch-optimized UI, just using the Content Finder instead.
To edit an existing paragraph, do one of the following:
- Double-click the paragraph to open it. You see the same window as when you created the paragraph with the existing content. Make your changes and click OK.
- Right-click the paragraph and click Edit.
- Click twice on the paragraph (a slow double-click) to enter the in-place editing mode. You will be able to directly edit the text on the page, instead of inside a dialog window. In this mode, you will be provided with a toolbar at the top of the page. Just make your changes and they will be automatically saved.
ملاحظة:
You can also use Cut and Paste to move a component.
ملاحظة:
If you have set your User Properties to show the Global Editing Toolbar you can also perform certain actions on the paragraphs by using the Copy, Cut, Paste, Delete buttons available.
Various keyboard shortcuts are also available.
As when Deleting a Component you can use the context menu to copy, cut and/or paste a component
ملاحظة:
If you have set your User Properties to show the Global Editing Toolbar you can also perform certain actions on the paragraphs by using the Copy, Cut, Paste, Delete buttons available.
Various keyboard shortcuts are also available.
Inherited components can be the product of various scenarios, including:
- Multi site management; also in combination with scaffolding.
- Launches (when based on livecopy).
- Specific components; for example the Inherited Paragraph System within Geometrixx.
You can cancel (then re-enable) the inheritance. Depending on the component, this can be available from:
Annotations allow other authors to provide feedback on your content. This is often used for review and validation purposes.

For larger scale edits of the same phrase a Find & Replace menu option allows you to search for, and replace multiple instances of a string, within a section of the website.
AEM allows you to lock a page, so that no-one else can modify the contents. This is useful when you are making a lot of edits to one specific page, or when you need to freeze a page for a short while.
تحذير:
Locking a page should be used with care as the only person who can unlock a page is the person who locked it (or an account with administrator privileges).
Use the following keyboard shortcuts while the content frame of the page has focus:
- Undo: Ctrl-z (Windows) or command-z (Mac)
- Redo: Ctrl-y (Windows) or command-y (Mac)
When you undo or redo the removal, addition, or relocation of one or more paragraphs, flashing (default behavior) highlights indicate the affected paragraphs.
ملاحظة:
See Undoing and Redoing Page Edits - The Theory for the full details of what is possible when undoing and redoing page edits.
ملاحظة:
Your system administrator can configure various aspects of the Undo/Redo features according to the requirements for your instance.
AEM stores a history of actions that you perform and the sequence in which you performed them. So, you undo several actions in the order that you performed them. Then, you can use redo to re-apply one or more of the actions.
If an element on the content page is selected, the undo and redo command applies to the selected item, such as a text component.
The behavior of the undo and redo commands is similar to that in other software programs. Use the commands to restore the recent state of your web page as you make decisions about content. For example, if you move a text paragraph to a different location on the page, you can use the undo command to move the paragraph back. If you then decide again to move the paragraph, use the redo command.
ملاحظة:
You can:
- redo actions as long as you have not made a page edit since you used undo.
- undo a maximum of 20 edit actions (default setting).
- also use Keyboard shortcuts for undo and redo.
You can use undo and redo for the following types of page changes in both UIs:
Both allow:
- Adding, editing, removing, and moving paragraphs
- In-place editing of paragraph content
- Copying, cutting, and pasting items within a page
The following are also available in the classic UI:
- Copying, cutting, and pasting items across pages
- Adding, removing, and changing files and images
- Adding, removing, and changing annotations and sketches
- Changes to Scaffold
- Adding and removing references
- Changing property values in component dialog boxes.
Form fields that form components render are not meant to have values specified while authoring pages. Therefore, the undo and redo commands do not affect changes that you make to the values of those types of components. For example, you cannot undo the selecting of a value in a drop-down list.
ملاحظة:
Special permissions are required to undo and redo changes to files and images. Also, undo history for changes to files and images lasts for at least 10 hours. Beyond this time, the undo of the changes is not guaranteed. (Your administrator can provide permissions and change the default time of 10 hours.)
