Extending AEM Universal Editor: Integrating External Tools for Seamless Authoring Workflows

The AEM Universal Editor introduces a powerful, flexible way to edit content across channels – but its true potential lies in its extensibility.

In this session, we'll explore how to extend the AEM Universal Editor using the Adobe Developer UI Extensions framework to integrate external tools directly into the authoring experience. Using a real-world example of integrating a third-party Digital Asset Management (DAM) system and a workflow management solution, we'll walk through the architecture, development approach, and lessons learned.

Attendees will gain practical insights into customizing the editor UI, working with extension points, and designing intuitive integrations that enhance productivity for content authors. Whether you're looking to connect existing tools or build new capabilities into AEM, this talk will equip you with the knowledge to unlock the full power of the Universal Editor.
