Use Content Advisor to access AEM content in Adobe applications content-advisor-aem-assets-adobe-applications

Content Advisor delivers a unified content discovery experience across Adobe applications. Natively integrated with applications such as Adobe Workfront (coming soon), AJO B2C (coming soon), AEM Sites and others, Content Advisor brings content (assets and Content Fragments) together in a single, intelligent interface. It enables you to effortlessly discover, browse, and reuse the most relevant content, right within your workflow, so you can move faster without breaking context.

Content Advisor brings intelligent, context-aware discovery directly into the authoring experience, helping you quickly find relevant, approved content based on your intent. With features such as smart suggestions, Dynamic Media renditions, and detailed asset metadata, it enables you to efficiently evaluate and reuse content without leaving the application interface, accelerating content creation while maintaining brand consistency.

Prerequisites prerequisites

Intelligent asset discovery with Content Advisor intelligent-asset-discovery-content-advisor

Content Advisor helps you discover relevant content using intelligent, context-aware recommendations based on your host Adobe application content or campaign brief. It also allows you to select channel-ready Dynamic Media renditions optimized for your use case.

Content Advisor provides the following key features:

AI Search for smarter asset discovery content-advisor-ai-search

Content Advisor uses an advanced search capability that understands the meaning and intent behind a user’s query rather than relying on exact keyword matches. It uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning to deliver more accurate and context-aware results.

Unlike traditional keyword-based search, which looks for exact terms, AI Search interprets relationships between words, concepts, and user intent. This ensures that users find what they are looking for—even if their query is phrased differently, contains typos, or is in another language.

Some if its key benefits include:

Smart suggestions based on context and intent smart-suggestions-content-advisor

Content Advisor displays smart suggestions based on the context of the host Adobe application. This helps you quickly discover and use assets that align with your content needs without the time-consuming manual search.

Campaign briefs to discover relevant assets campaign-briefs-content-advisor

Content Advisor allows you to upload a campaign brief document to discover relevant assets without manually entering search keywords. Content Advisor analyzes the information in the campaign brief to understand the campaign’s intent and recommends relevant assets available in AEM Assets.

Dynamic Media asset renditions available for use dynamic-media-renditions-content-advisor

Dynamic Media renditions provide ready-to-use, channel-optimized versions of assets, including image presets, Smart Crops, format types, and color profiles. These renditions help ensure that the selected asset meets channel and design requirements without requiring manual editing or asset duplication.

You can also apply Dynamic Media modifiers to preview adjustments in real-time before selecting the rendition for the host Adobe application, enabling faster selection of the most appropriate rendition while maintaining asset consistency and quality.

Click the icon on the asset card and select the Dynamic Media tab to view the available renditions for an asset. You can select to view Dynamic Media Scene7 renditions or Dynamic Media with OpenAPI renditions. When you select OpenAPI for an asset, the available renditions display only if the asset is approved and available to Dynamic Media with OpenAPI.

You must have a valid AEM Dynamic Media license to view the Dynamic Media tab.

Click the icon to preview the rendition or click the rendition name and click Select to make the rendition available in your host application.

Click Add Modifiers, specify a modifier in the text box, and press Enter to apply the transformation to all asset renditions in real-time. Similarly, you can add multiple modifiers to renditions and preview those transformations. Click the rendition name and click Select to make the rendition available in your host application. The rendition after applying those modifiers is not saved. See the list of supported modifiers for Dynamic Media Scene7 and Dynamic Media with OpenAPI.

Discovery of Content Fragments content-fragments-discovery-content-advisor

Content Advisor provides discovery of Content Fragments, enabling you to easily browse and incorporate fragments into supported Adobe applications. Search through a list of Content Fragments and select the most relevant content without leaving your current workflow.

Each Content Fragment is represented as a card with a live thumbnail preview generated from its content, helping you to quickly identify the right fragment. The card also displays key details such as the title and status (Draft, Modified, or Published). For deeper insights, click the icon to view detailed properties, references to other Content Fragments and available variations, ensuring informed content selection and reuse.

Access asset metadata consistent with Assets view asset-metadata-content-advisor

Content Advisor provides access to asset properties defined in AEM Assets, including metadata available in the Assets view. Content Advisor uses the same metadata configuration as in Assets View, replicating the list of metadata tabs and content in Assets view asset details page. This allows you to review key asset details such as title, description, format, size, and other metadata before selecting an asset. Access to asset properties helps ensure you choose the correct and approved asset for your content.

Click the icon on the asset card and select the Basic tab to view asset metadata. You can also view other asset metadata tabs such as, Product, Campaign, and Tags, consistent with the asset metadata that exist in Assets view.

Content Advisor displays properties (metadata) for files in a read-only view. The properties are not displayed for collections and folders.

Access filters consistent with Assets view filters-content-advisor

Content Advisor provides the same filtering capabilities within your host Adobe application that are available in the Assets view, enabling you to refine assets using predefined filters. Same filtering capabilities as available in Assets view also apply to the filters specific to content types, such as files, folders, and collections. This ensures a consistent asset discovery experience and helps you efficiently locate relevant assets within your host Adobe application.

If you do not have filters set up in Assets view via filter schema, Content Advisor displays out-of-the-box filters including File Type, File Format, Asset Status, File Size, Image Width, Image Height, Modified Date, and Created Date.

Custom filterschema is supported for Assets (Files) but not yet supported for Folders and Collections.

Access and reuse recent and saved searches saved-searches-content-advisor

Saved searches created in the Assets view are also available, enabling you to reuse predefined search criteria. Saved searches works consistently between Assets view and Content Advisor across browsers. This helps you efficiently locate assets using consistent search patterns across AEM Assets and other Adobe applications.

To save your frequently used search using Content Advisor:

To apply any of the saved search items, select the search item from the Saved Searches drop-down list. Content Advisor displays the results based on the search query.

Content Advisor saves your recent searches and also allows you to save frequently used searches for quick access later. The list of recent searches is not consistent between Assets view and Content Advisor. The same user can have different set of recent searches in Assets view and Content Advisor. If you are using Incognito mode to access Content Advisor, the list of recent searches is not available. In addition, recent searches are not shared across different browsers for the same user and are AEM environment-specific.

The Default Saved Search feature, available in Assets view, is not available yet in Content Advisor.

Search for assets across and within collections search-collections-content-advisor

Content Advisor allows you to search for assets or collections across all collections or limit your search to a specific collection. This helps you quickly locate and use assets from curated collections while preserving their intended organizational context.
