AEM Editorial Toolbar

Helping editors navigate AEM sites.

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.
