AI-generated video captions in Adobe Dynamic Media use artificial intelligence to generate captions automatically for video content. This feature is designed to improve accessibility and enhance the user experience by providing accurate, real-time captions. The AI analyzes the video’s audio track to transcribe speech and create captions, which can be edited for accuracy or customization. These captions help meet accessibility requirements and improve video engagement for audiences who rely on or prefer text-based video support.

Auto-save a draft for Core Components based Adaptive Forms
Users can now benefit from an auto-save feature that saves a partially completed form as a draft automatically. They can return later to finish filling it out on the same or other device.

Experience Manager as a Cloud Service Foundation foundation
Edge Side Includes (ESI) for Loading Dynamic Content esi
The Adobe Managed CDN now supports Edge Side Includes (ESI), a markup language for edge level dynamic web content assembly. By including ESI snippets, you can cache the overall HTML page at the CDN with higher TTLs, while more frequently fetching from origin those smaller sections that require higher cadence updates (lower TTLs). This feature will be rolled out gradually.
Basic Authentication at the CDN basicauth-cdn
Protect certain content resources by popping up a basic auth dialog requiring a username and password. This feature primarily targets light authentication use cases, like business stakeholders reviewing content, rather than serving as a comprehensive solution for end-user access rights. The list of username and passwords is managed through a configuration file in git that is deployed via Config Pipeline, with a reference to secret-type Cloud Manager environment variables. Learn more.
Client-Side Redirects client-side-redirects
Declare browser redirects in a configuration file git that are deployed to and evaluated at the CDN. This can be useful for scenarios including deleting pagtes, changed site structure, and SEO optimization.
New AEM Developer Console (Public Beta) aem-developer-console-beta
Try out a revamped AEM Developer Console, which offers a more interactive experience for debugging code in Cloud environments.
Anyone can access the public beta by clicking the New Console Available button in the current AEM Developer Console. Adobe welcomes feedback, which you can email to aemcs-new-devconsole-ui-beta@adobe.com.
Business Users Can Declare Redirects Outside of Git (Early Adopter Program) apache-rewritemaps-early-adopter
Similar to AEM 6.5, Apache/dispatcher ingests rewrite maps placed in a specific location in the publish repository, and loads them without requiring a web tier pipeline execution. This approach lets business users declare redirects using a spreadsheet or a UI, like ACS Commons Redirect Map Manager or a custom application. Join the early adopter program by emailing aemcs-cdn-config-adopter@adobe.com.
Config Pipeline for RDEs (Early Adopter Program) config-pipeline-rdes-early-adopter
The Config Pipeline is used to deploy yaml file configurations, including CDN options (traffic filter rules, request/response transformations, etc). Join the early adopter program by emailing aemcs-cdn-config-adopter@adobe.com to deploy these same configurations to RDEs (Rapid Development Environments), which use a CLI.
