Experience Manager Sites as a Cloud Service

New features in Sites

• Content model data types can now be defined as translatable using a simple checkbox in the content model editor. Additionally, AEM translation rules and configurations are automatically updated.

Experience Manager Assets as a Cloud Service

New features in Assets

• You can now sort tags in the tag picker window in ascending or descending order based on the tag name, date of creation, or date of modification.

Experience Manager Forms as a Cloud Service

What is new in Forms

• Communications - Document Manipulation APIs support in Forms as a Cloud Service SDK: Document Manipulation APIs help to combine, rearrange, and validate PDF documents. You can now use Communications - Document Generation APIs on a local development environment with the help of AEM Forms as a Cloud Service SDK.

• Use custom XCI for generating a Document of Record: You can now use a custom XCI file to set various properties of a Document of Record. It overrides the master XCI with the custom changes. It provides more control over the generation of Documents of Record, increasing personalization, and customization opportunities.

• Use invisible CAPTCHA in an adaptive form: You can use the invisible CAPTCHA to show the CAPTCHA challenge only in the case of a suspicious activity. If no suspicious activity is found the CAPTCHA challenge is not displayed. It helps assess human form completion without checkbox requirements, reduce customization efforts, and improve the end-user experience.

• Form Data Model Configurations: You can now reuse Form Data Model configurations across environments, simplifying data integrations and reducing IT costs.

Experience Manager as a Cloud Service Foundation

SDK Build Analyzers

The AEM as a Cloud Service SDK Build Analyzer Maven Plugin detects problems in a maven project, including missing dependencies. It gives developers an opportunity to discover issues during local development, well before deploying to Cloud environments with Cloud Manager.

A new analyzer has been recently added:

• content-packages-validation - validates for well formed content syntax and structure for packages that will be installed during deployment

It is strongly recommended to update your maven project with the latest version of the analyzer or include the analyzer if you haven’t yet done so. For more information, see the documentation here.

Experience Manager as a Cloud Service Foundation Security

TLS 1.0, 1.1 deprecation

Starting June 30th 2022, Experience Manager as a Cloud Service will require a more secure network communication and data exchange with users systems. AEM will use exclusively Transport Layer Security (TLS), 1.2 protocol. Older TLS versions 1.0 and 1.1 will be deprecated.

If you continue to use older versions of TLS as 1.0, 1.1, you could potentially lose access to Experience Manager as a Cloud Service.
