Associated Content associated-content
AEM’s Associated content feature provides the connection so that assets can be optionally used with the fragment when it is added to a content page. This provides flexibility for your headless content delivery by providing a range of assets to access when using the content fragment on a page, while also helping to reduce the time required to search for the appropriate asset.
Adding Associated Content adding-associated-content
To make the association you first need to add your media assets to a collection. After that is done you can:
-
Open your fragment and select Associated Content from the side panel.
-
Depending on whether any collections have already been associated, or not - select either:
- Associate Content - this will be the first associated collection
- Associate Collection - associated collections that are already configured
-
Select the required collection.
You can optionally add the fragment itself to the selected collection; this aids tracking.
-
Confirm (with Select). The collection will be listed as associated.
Editing Associated Content editing-associated-content
Once you have associated a collection you can:
- Remove the association.
- Add Assets to the collection.
- Select an asset for further action.
- Edit the asset.
