Upcoming Features upcoming-features

  • A getPageDom method was added to the extensibility remote app API, letting connected apps read the current page’s rendered DOM.
  • The custom class markers (dashed box and label chip) are now hidden from the in-context rich text editor so they no longer decorate the rendered page. The class picker remains available in both editors.
  • Global ad item actions (add/delete) were added to the select renderer in the canvas.

Upcoming Changes upcoming-improvements

  • The new general reference renderers now fall back to the legacy reference renderers on AEM 6.5, since the new renderers are not yet supported in 6.5.
  • Single reference fields now render as a proper single field and are no longer forced into a multi-field shape when the general asset renderer feature is enabled.
  • Invalid rich text fields in the property rail are now highlighted with a red border.
  • The clear queue button in the debug events panel was repositioned so it aligns with the panel’s top.
  • The unpublish action now only reports the target resource itself and no longer includes pages that merely reference it.
