Importers - Bulk Editor
Lets you search for items and edit them in bulk. You can also export and import content (in bulk) into the repository.
Importer - Feed Importer
The feed importer is a framework to repeatedly import content from external sources into your repository. The idea of the feed importer is to poll a remote resource at a specified interval, to parse it, and to create nodes in the content repository that represent the content of the remote resource.

Replication - Replication Agents
Used to replicate data from author to publish when publishing pages, or with reverse replication to return user comments from the publish environment to author.
Importers - Activate Tree
From the Websites tab you can activate the individual pages. When you have entered, or updated, a considerable number of content pages - all of which are resident under the same root page - it can be easier to activate the entire tree in one action. You can also perform a Dry Run to emulate an activation and highlight which pages would be activated.
AEM provides a range of customized reports, allows you to create customized reports and/or develop your own.
With scaffolding you can create a form (a scaffold) with fields that reflect the structure you want for your pages and then use this form to easily create pages based on this structure.
Security - Self-Service Configuration
Lets you configure the emails that users automatically receive when they create an account or reset a password and to confirm a password that has been reset.
Site visitors have different interests and objectives when they come to a site. Understanding these goals and fulfilling the expectations is an important success factor for online marketing. Segmentation helps to achieve this by analyzing and characterizing a visitor's details.
