Adobe Experience Manager 6.3 comes with two UIs - the unified Experience Cloud UI and the Classic UI.

This document is intended to guide customers to make a choice on what UI to use depending their situation.

Terms of interest:

  • Classic UI
    User interface based on ExtJS technology that was introduced with CQ 5.1 in 2008.
  • UI (or default UI)
    New(er) user interface that was introduced in 5.6.0 as a technology preview and extended in subsequent releases. It is based on the unified user experience for the Adobe Experience Cloud.
  • Site Admin
    Capabilities to manage the site hierarchy (move, activate, managed references) and create new pages.
  • Page Authoring
    Capabilities to add/edit the content of a page.
  • DAM/Assets Admin
    Capabilities to manage digital assets (including images, video, documents, downloads).
  • Client Context
    Capabilities to aggregate information about the visitor and use it for various purposes. Provides an user interface to simulate persons visiting the site. Starting AEM 6.2, ContextHub is replacing the Client Context.

General

Over the last few years Adobe has updated all the Adobe Experience Cloud solutions with an unified user interface. Users across the Experience Cloud solutions enjoy a consistant experience with common patterns on how to use and operate the applications. With every release, Adobe has refined it's user interface based on feedback from customers working across the various solutions.

The original user interface for Adobe Experience Manager (previously known as CQ5), introduced in 2008 and used by customers running versions 5.0-5.6.1, is present in AEM 6.3. This guarantees that customers can update to 6.3, and benefit from an updated platform with new capabilities while keep using the same user interface.

Adobe recommends customers to plan to switch to the new UI in 2017/18. This can either be done during the update to 6.3 - or in a separate projects after the update, that would include the necessary adjustments to the customizations and component dialogs.

Adobe is planning to deprecate the Classic UI in AEM in April 2018. The 2018 release of AEM will still contain the Classic UI as it is part of current AEM release. Following that, Adobe is planning to remove the Classic UI from AEM in April 2019.

Customers running AEM 6.3 will benefit from full production support using the classic user interface.
