Launches launches
CAUTION
AEM 6.4 has reached the end of extended support and this documentation is no longer updated.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.
Launches enable you to efficiently develop content for a future release.
A launch is created to allow you to make changes ready for future publication (while maintaining your current pages). After editing and updating your launch pages you promote them back to the source, then activate the source pages (top-level). Promoting duplicates the launch content back to the source pages and can be done either manually or automatically (dependent on fields set when creating and editing the launch).
NOTE
The theory behind launches is described in detail under Launches in the standard authoring documentation.
Information specific to using launches in the classic UI can be found in the following documentation together with Creating Launches, Editing Launches, and Promoting Launches.
CAUTION
Multiple source branches for a launch is not possible in classic UI.
The Launches console can be directly accessed with http://localhost:4502/libs/launches/content/admin.html
