What’s New in Adobe Experience Manager
To lead the digital pack, constant innovation is a must. Our latest updates to AEM 6.5 give you instant access to exciting improvements that will drive your business forward even faster.
Smart Crop for Video
Automatically detect the focal point of a video, crop the video across fixed aspect ratios, and automatically track the focal point throughout the frame.
Enhanced Headless CMS Capabilities
Create experiences in Experience Manager or your favourite front-end framework using Experience Manager as the content engine with HTTP APIs for structured content models and JSON outputs.
Digital Asset Search
Easily find content with AI-powered Adobe Sensei, which can recognise the content and colour scheme of a selected asset and surface similar assets stored in the DAM.
Adobe Experience Manager Sites
With the latest release of Adobe Experience Manager Sites, you still have the same agility to create, manage and deliver personalised experiences with easy-to-use tools backed by the power of AI. But, you also have so much more.
The latest innovations to Experience Manager Sites make it easier to craft relevant experiences across any channel throughout the customer journey. Key features include a developer focused toolkit on using Experience Manager as a headless content management solution, including a new HTTP API and GraphQL API for Magento Commerce. New production-ready components will further speed time to launch experiences. For marketers, new innovations allow greater flexibility to manage content across traditional web and emerging channels such as single page apps and in-venue digital screens.
Deliver even more engaging and relevant SPA experiences with the ability to localise and translate content, make in-context edits and preview those changes. Server-side rendering of the first page enables improved load time and SEO performance. Also, a new starter kit and guided tutorial for React/Angular based SPA accelerates time to market.
Leverage our light-weight HTTP API to pull structured content fragments from Experience Manager and deliver to any endpoint (single page apps, mobile apps, IoT, voice and more) allowing developers to scale content delivery to multiple channels.
Easily scale applications by efficiently pulling data and content from Magento Commerce using the GraphQL API. Extended support for Experience Manager will be coming later this year.
Get to market faster with few more production-ready, configurable and extensible components including teaser, carousel, tabs and more.
Marketers can now easily export Experience Fragments in a JSON format to Adobe Target. From there, run A/B tests or implement rules-based personalisation with Adobe Sensei. This offers agility in re-purposing offers and campaigns across many channels.
Dynamically trigger contextually relevant in-store content of any type or playlist based on events like sensors, API values or inventory. And, deliver rich experiences like dynamic pricing and menus by layering text from back-end systems over other images and videos.
Easily schedule a batch of content for future publishing and reduce download times with SmartSync, which lets players intelligently download only content changes.
Improve insights for proof of play reporting, interaction analytics and more with pre-configured Adobe Analytics integration that caches data when off-line.
Adobe Experience Manager Assets
With thousands of digital assets created by your company, finding and using the right asset can be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Not with Experience Manager Assets.

With our latest updates, assets like videos and photographs can be quickly searched, cropped and perfectly rendered on any device. You’ll save massive amounts of time and be able to craft exactly the experiences you want without re-inventing the wheel.
Automatically detect the focal point of a video, crop the video across fixed aspect ratios and automatically track the focal point throughout the frame.

Adobe Experience Manager Forms
Instead of digging and sorting through stacks of forms and reams of paper, Experience Manager Forms can transform your enrolment, onboarding and customer communications into personalised, streamlined digital experiences.
With the latest updates, your enrolment and communication processes will be paperless, automated and scalable across multiple channels. You’ll also be able to quickly create and personalise cross-channel content with simplified keyboard shortcuts and more visually-engaging components. Take a peek at our latest features to learn how.
Synchronise content and format from print documents to quickly create, publish and refine mobile-responsive web communications and enjoy more interactive capabilities than traditional print documents.

Authors can immediately view bound/unbound data elements, use undo/redo actions, expand/collapse fragments, use keyboard shortcuts and drag-and-drop elements directly onto text or field fragments.
Make digital communications more visual and engaging with new chart types that represent data clearly and effectively. Easy configuration and sorting for table columns make it simple for customers to quickly view the data they care most about without the hassle of exporting data into Excel and leaving your website.
