What’s New what-is-new

  • Locking Page in an AEM Screens Channel

    AEM Screens now supporting Locking a Page, as already implemented in AEM Sites. Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) lets you lock a page, so that no one else can edit the contents. This feature is useful when you are making numerous edits to one specific page or when you must freeze a page for a short while.

  • Naming AEM Screens Player Device

    The AEM Screens players now include the capability of sending a device name to Adobe Experience Manager (AEM).
    By default, when bulk registration is used to register a device, a system-generated username is entered in the title field. As an alternative, a customer may use an asset tag or other friendly name so it is visible in AEM and easier to assign appropriate content.

    See the following documentation for information on how to configure the name in each supported Operating System:

  • Manifest Generation

    Faster channel-manifest generation with improved performances such as allocating less resources on the server.

Bug Fixes bug-fixes
