CAUTION

AEM 6.4 has reached the end of extended support and this documentation is no longer updated. For further details, see our technical support periods. Find the supported versions here.

CAUTION

With version 6.4 of AEM, the Classic UI is deprecated. Adobe does not plan to make further enhancements to the Classic UI and users are encouraged to leverage the powerful new features available under the touch-enabled UI.

Starting with version 6.0, AEM introduced a new user interface referred to as the “touch-enabled UI” (also known simply as “touch UI”) that is aligned to the Adobe Marketing Cloud and to the overall Adobe user interface guidelines. With near feature partity reached, this has become the standard UI in AEM with the legacy, desktop-oriented interface referred to as “classic UI.”

While most capabilities are present in the touch-enabled UI, there are features that are not yet complete and will be added in future releases.

The following list shows the current status of the capabilities as implemented in AEM 6.4.

For recommendations for customers that upgrade to AEM 6.4, please see User Interface Recommendations for Customers for details.

NOTE

Please note that this page only covers feature parity with classic UI.

Capabilities added and unique to the touch-enabled UI that are not present in the classic UI are not listed.

NOTE

This list strives to be complete, but should not be considered exhaustive.
