AEM Editorial Toolbar

AEM Editorial Toolbar The missing navigation layer for Adobe Experience Manager. Flexible, customisable, solo or team-ready. Entirely managed by your configuration which can be distributed to your entire team. What it does: The toolbar automatically detects when you're on an AEM page and shows relevant quick links based on your context - whether you're editing content, browsing the live site, or working in the DAM. One click to jump between Edit, Preview, Live, Properties, or related assets. Built for configurability: Everything is driven by simple configuration that you can control - define your environments, customise quick links, set up contextual messages, and tailor the experience to match your organisation's workflow. Developers can build a complete configuration package and distribute it to editors with a single URL. Team members simply open the config link and click Install - no manual setup required. Key Features: - Context-aware quick links that adapt to where you are in AEM - Visual environment indicators (Author, Publish, Local, etc.) - DAM asset overlays showing linked images on any page - Smart assertions that analyse your page and surface helpful tips - Fully configurable via YAML - tailor it to your team's workflow - Personal customisations on top of shared configs including shareable functionality - Remote config support for easy team-wide deployment - Works with AEM 6.5, Cloud Service, and local SDK Built for privacy: Everything runs locally in your browser. No tracking, no analytics, no external servers. About permissions: This extension requests access to all URLs because AEM can run on any domain. You control exactly which domains activate the toolbar through your configuration - it stays dormant everywhere else. - Storage: To save your settings and configuration locally. - Tabs: To communicate between the extension components and update the toolbar. - Alarms: To schedule periodic fetching of remote configuration packages (if configured). - Cookies: To include your AEM authentication when making API requests to your AEM author instance for DAM asset lookups. - Host Permissions: To operate on your configured AEM sites, which can be on any domain. --- Not affiliated with or endorsed by Adobe.

Any page lists the fragments it uses, each one a link straight into its editor. No setup needed. - Links and messages can now read a page's own properties using {page.<name>}, so a convention your team already keeps in page properties becomes a toolbar link. Fixes: - Edit Page now works properly on sites that rewrite paths between author and live, including rules with capture groups. - DAM asset links no longer 404 when a file extension is uppercase. - A bad rule in a shared configuration no longer takes the whole toolbar off the page. - Toolbar icons no longer draw at the wrong size. - Author instances on a custom port or over http now work properly. v1.2.6 Options interface: - New "Customise with AI" feature for generating custom links and messages - Generate with AI buttons added to Quick Links and Messages tabs - Active Listen documentation added for message rules - Fixed duplicate item bug when editing link labels v1.2.5 Options interface: - Fixed modal scrolling issue on smaller screens - Fixed deep link navigation to AI customisation - Corrected URL placeholder documentation - Fixed options page path resolution Toolbar: - Fixed tooltip positioning for right-aligned toolbar - Fixed toggle arrow direction for right-aligned toolbar v1.2.4 Options interface: - Improved first-time setup experience with guided onboarding - Package name and version now shown in customisation badges - More prominent Import button v1.2.3 - Added package branding to Environments page - Faster config refresh (4 hours default instead of 24) - Cleaner date formatting throughout v1.2.2 - Duplicate button for links and messages - Reorganised action buttons for clarity v1.2.1 - Share and Import individual links/messages as JSON - Placeholder reference guide in editors
