AEM 6.4 has reached the end of extended support and this documentation is no longer updated. For further details, see our technical support periods. Find the supported versions here.

By default, the ability to switch to the classic UI via the admin consoles has been disabled. Therefore the pop-up icons that was seen when mousing over certain console icons, allowing access to classic UI, are no longer displayed.

Every console that has a Classic UI version in /libs/cq/core/content/nav can be re-enabled individually so that the Classic UI option once again pops up over the console icon when it is moused over.

In this example, we are re-enabling the Classic UI for the Sites console.

  1. Using CRXDE Lite, find the node corresponding the admin console for which you want to re-enable Classic UI. They are found under:

    /libs/cq/core/content/nav

    For example

    http://localhost:4502/crx/de/index.jsp#/libs/cq/core/content/nav

  2. Select the node corresponding to the console for which you want to re-enable Classic UI. For our example, we will re-enable classic UI for the Sites console.

    /libs/cq/core/content/nav/sites

  3. Create an overlay using the Overlay Node option; for example:

    • Path: /apps/cq/core/content/nav/sites
    • Overlay Location: /apps/
    • Match Node Types: active (select the checkbox)

  4. Add the following boolean property to the overlaid node:

    enableDesktopOnly = {Boolean}true

  5. The Classic UI option is again available as a popover option in the admin console.

Repeat these steps for every console for which you wish to re-enable access to the Classic UI version.
