Web and Applications Services Team has scheduled the next AEM code release (5.5.0) for Thursday, June 4th. With the release of 5.5.0, the default editor for AEM will change from the Classic User Interface (Classic UI) to Touch User Interface (Touch UI). With input from our pilot Editors, we have implemented various improvements and updates to the Touch UI for a smoother transition. Some of these improvements include:
Consolidation of templates
Visual Iconography for Templates and Components
Advance Component options
While we were able to accommodate a variety of requests, other requests are currently in the hands of the vendor - Adobe. We are working with them to resolve these requests in a timely manner.
So, what does this mean?
Logging into your Project Dashboard will remain the same.
When you select a page to edit, you will be taken to the Touch UI view.
Instead of the Sidekick, the Side Panel displays both your assets and the component list.
