One of the most important concepts to understand in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) is the separation between Author and Publish environments.
Many people struggle with AEM because they don’t clearly understand why this separation exists and what role each environment plays.
In this video, I explain Author vs Publish in simple terms:
• What the Author environment is used for
• What the Publish environment is used for
• Why enterprises separate content creation from content delivery
• How this design protects websites from mistakes and performance issues
This concept is foundational.
Once Author vs Publish makes sense, many other AEM concepts start to feel much clearer.
This video is part of a larger series where AEM is broken down into 30 must-know concepts, explained in simple terms using real-world analogies.
