CAUTION

This AEM Screens functionality is only available, if you have installed AEM 6.3 Feature Pack 3 or AEM 6.4 Screens Feature Pack 1.

To get access to this Feature Pack, you must contact Adobe Support and request access. Once you have permissions you can download it from Package Share.

Overview

Bulk Offline Update, allows you to update all the channel in bulk. It avoids the hassle of navigating to a particular channel and update the content. Rather, you can update all the content in channels for one specific project in one instant.

You can also schedule this activity for a time of lower network traffic.

NOTE

The Bulk Offline Update feature is optimized to update only those channels that have been modified.
