Thanks for sharing valuable knowledge, this topic is confusing at first but you explained very well

[@AEMGeeks]

Thanks, Keep supporting this channel

[@pradeepkumarA-bx2hl]

Really good and precise information .. good one.

HI ..really very informative. The way you explained is in such a way that a laymen can understand. Please upload more such video's..

[@AEMGeeks]

Thanks Divya Bhat, I will keep uploading tutorials. There are five series/playlist available on channel. You can watch them as well.

Very helpful topic sir thanks

[@AEMGeeks]

Thank you!

[@thummalapallinaveen8445]

Your explanation is too good. My suggestion is please create a udemy course which covers end to end about AEM will benefit alot people.

[@thummalapallinaveen8445]

If possible can you cover some java part also like page API, PageManager, node class like these some important content where to use them.

[@AEMGeeks]

Will think

[@AEMGeeks]

If you check other tutorial, I use these api as part of demos. You will find all these api used in existing tutorials.

[@andycharron4966]

At 5:46 you said “create a site”, and you selected the we.RETAIL blueprint, but nothing seemed to happen (at 5:54 you still only had the Language Masters content page you had created immediately before). What were we seeing there?

[@AEMGeeks]

Andy Charron, Here I explained use of blue print. language master is act as blue print. Blue print used to create site. Because language master did not have pages, So I created those pages first. You will understand after watching complete tutorial.

clear and clean explanation hope you work on the topic upload excel and cover data in excel to json

[@AEMGeeks]

Thank you Khương Nguyễn, Yes, I have worked on this kind of topic. I will cover these topic once I will start advance topics.

[@sharatchandra2045]

nice explanation. thanks

thanks Sharat Chandra

[@kiranvedantam7793]

Appreciate the effort. But the video is very confusing. The voice-over says "Language copy and Live copy" multiple times for the same thing which I felt the video maker is not sure himself. I recommend creating a PPT, explain the content with screenshots, and then show the demo. Again great effort.

[@AEMGeeks]

Kiran Vedantam, Thanks for your feedback. It is really possible that words have misplaced as both are same kind of words. This topic is itself bit confusing. So I can understand your confusion. On this channel, I try to give practical/code demo because you can find written document/tutorials over internet. your point noted. Will try to improve.

I am working to stand up a SaaS AEM platform for our digital BU. These folks are not IT centric and have multiple concurrent projects that need to use some type of versioning for the content content and language variants on AEM editor. They also want to maintain a common/shared component hierarchy separately possibly with country hierarchy too for reuse across projects; I have few questions 1. Is there a best practice or Content Architecture/Content hierarchy to includes these features when we stand up the platform 2. Is there a way projects can be created from AEM Editor itself rather than using maven ? these folks are not IT centric. 3. Our digital team has 50 users across the world and they want to concurrently change content / component & pages, is there a versioning strategy in AEM ?

[@AEMGeeks]

Hi Raees Uzhunnan, I did not completely understand your questions but let me try to answer as per what I understand. In case you are looking something else, please come with further questions. 1. Please create Content Architecture/Content hierarchy based on your requirement. You can create which best suited for your project. I explain in this tutorial structure recommended by adobe but you are free to create your own content hierarchy. Let me give you an example. Suppose you have 3 regions Asia, America and Europe. And each region has different countries sites. Each region has different content. In this case you can create master sites/language copy for each region. You can update these copies and move to different countries for respective region. Please check what kind of content you have across different countries and region. Create content hierarchy accordingly. 2. Why do you want to create project(code) without maven. How will you build and deploy code across different environment(dev/stage/prod). I think you want to say, Can you create blue print/ Master content hierarchy with maven. If this is the question, Yes you can definitely create. Create content/sites as per your required hierarchy. 3. Page any content author is authoring/updating can be locked to avoid concurrent updating. One person can lock page while update, other person can't override previous changes. You can create version of pages/content. You can restore any version. You can also compare content of different versions. There is not hierarchy of components as such. But you can group components in different groups. ex. The components you use across all sites can be keep in one common group. The components you use for specific country can be in one group. say components use in German country site can be assign to a group German-Component. Enable these specific groups for specific sites. I tried to answer as per my understanding. If you have any further question, please come back with your question. Please expect some delayed response.

[@uraees]

​@@AEMGeeks with respect to "You can create version of pages/content. You can restore any version. You can also compare content of different versions."; does AEM has a version control internally for control changes or that need to be done through an external /IT driven version control mechanism

[@AEMGeeks]

@Raees Uzhunnam, AEM has versioning mechanism internally. You do not need any additional/external functionality/application. But remember, by default, It will not create version for each and every change. And it correct also, Suppose your content author is updating page, If it will create version for every update then there will lot of versions. For content, you can manually create version of pages. It create version on page publish. But you can configure/create workflows to achieve versioning as per your need. AEM is very flexible, you can achieve versioning as per your need. Please do let me know if you have any question.

[@forumman8047]

Thanks AEM Geeks. Very patiently explained with very thorough coverage of the topic. One thing that seemed missing - you rightly pointed out that when you create a new page under a language copy in language master.. you don't have to repeat this activity for all the lang copies.. you can opt to copy the newly created page in all the other lang copies under lang master. But what if you update an existing page in one of the lang copies (say lang-master/en). How will you propagate this change to the other copies under language master? Will you have to duplicate the authoring effort for each language copy?

[@AEMGeeks]

That why Rollout configurations are used for. Will see this use in rollout configuration related tutorials.

[@forumman8047]

@@AEMGeeks Thank you for your response. But rollout configs are only used with live copies correct? I was asking about the language copies under language-master i.e. if you updated a page under 'en' does that mean you'll have to duplicate the updates manually in other languages also since there's no live relationship between en and other languages under lang-master. Thanks.

[@AEMGeeks]

@@forumman8047 No, you don't need to do it manually. Understand the concept of language copy also. Language copy concept used here for this. Please check next tutorial of same series. You will understand. Or I will explain in with use case in scenario series.

[@Arya-mh7tx]

Can we have same name of home page in language copy and live copy. For example : having ru-ru or ru_ru(either of them) at both places? Will there be any limitation in doing that?

[@NomadicBae]

Please create a Java and Advance Java Course videos as well

[@AEMGeeks]

Will try to create tutorials in future

[@KeerthiK-rh7yx]

Rollout page option is coming only for the first created page in language copy, if we create a new page second time in the language copy it's not showing rollout page option.

[@calking3292]

Thanks for your efforts. But, this video is very confusing and difficult to understand. Need more context on 1) Language Master vs Language Copy. 2) Creating Live Copy from source(Site) vs BluePrint. 3) Language Copy vs i18n and L10n.

[@AEMGeeks]

Thanks for your feedback. These topics are bit confusing. Will try to create another tutorial as you suggested and will try to explain with more details.

[@abhisheksaxena9801]

Hi.. While creating language copy, on language copy wizard add pages not working for me. Is there anything I am missing?

[@AEMGeeks]

Language copy is OOTB feature. It should work. Could please give some more details, where are you getting this issue.

[@manisaisai2942]

I have one doubt creating all these how to create package and how to commit and push

[@AEMGeeks]

You can create package using package manager console. Bring file to your local repository/code base. Then commit and push to remote repository. Please let me know if you are looking any specific information.

[@rishavsahay]

Thanks for Sharing the details. Can you upload a video for Rollouts as well ?

[@AEMGeeks]

sure Rishav Sahay, will create one

Hello .. I find your videos very detailed and useful.. Thank you so much.. Do you have any videos on using "AEM as cloud service" ?

[@AEMGeeks]

Not yet, But I will start a separate series for AEM as cloud service. I always start from basic and then more concepts. It can't be competed with few tutorials. It will take a complete series for all concepts.

Rampathoti Susmitha, Whole project code is available in git. Please get that code, build at your local machine. Install package 'all' to aem. You will get site for US. Please remove that and create your own blue print as per tutorial using existing/present templates as per your need. Demo code repo : github.com/aemgeeks1212/aemgeeks
