Version 6.5.10
Adobe Experience Manager has been updated to v6.5.10. This update includes new features, key customer-requested enhancements, bug fixes, and performance, stability, and security improvements.
Highlights
- Enhanced Content Fragment Models and Editor: You can now create complex and custom models for structured content using nested Content Fragment models. Content structures are modularized into basic elements that are modeled as sub-fragments. Higher-level fragments reference these sub-fragments. More data type enhancements such as advanced validation rules further enhance the flexibility of content modeling with Content Fragments. The Experience Manager Content Fragment editor supports nested fragment structures in a common editor session, with enhancements such as structure tree view and tabbed breadcrumb navigation through fragment hierarchies.
- GraphQL API for Content Fragments: The new GraphQL API is the standard method to deliver structured content in JSON format. GraphQL queries let clients request only the relevant content items to render an experience. GraphQL schemas are derived from Content Fragment models, and API responses are made in JSON format.
- To support GraphQL API, hyphens are no longer allowed in the Content Fragment Model Property Field. GraphQL queries might return unwanted results if a hyphen is present in any of the Content Fragment Model property names.
- Only the following characters are allowed for property name: A-Z a-z 0-9 _. A digit cannot be in the first position.
- Accessibility Enhancements:
- Many accessibility enhancements for viewers of dynamic media
- Some accessibility enhancements to AEM platform
- Experience Manager directly displays a list of all the content models under a folder without content authors having to navigate through the file structure. The feature now requires fewer clicks and improves authoring efficiency.
- Pathfield in Sites editor allows authors to drag assets from Content Finder.
- Can use Automated Forms Conversion service to convert PDF Forms in French, German, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese languages to adaptive forms.
- Error messages in Properties browser: Added error messages for each property in the Adaptive Forms Properties browser. These messages help understand allowed values for a field.
