AEM Chrome Extension for AEM Content Authors, Developers, and CMS Admins for the AEM platform, all versions of AEM + AEMaaaCS.
As an Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) content author, developer, or administrator, transitioning between pages, the Touch UI Editor, Classic UI Editor, Page Properties, and CRX/DE Lite can become repetitive. This involves manually copying the URL and making subsequent changes to reach the desired destination. Over time, navigating through AEM using this manual approach consumes a significant amount of unnecessary time.
The AEM Chrome Extension streamlines this process, saving you time by providing easy navigation within AEM—from the Touch UI Editor, Classic UI Editor, Page Properties, and CRX/DE Lite—with a single click on a button or hotkey! This tool allows you to efficiently navigate through the AEM console, ultimately saving you considerable time in the long run.
Main Features:
+ Dynamic Quick Links
From any page under /content/* you can swiftly and quickly navigate to Touch UI Editor, Classic UI Editor, Page Properties, Disabled Mode, Debug Clientlibs Mode, and CRX/DE Lite. On any other page, you can quickly navigate to CRXDE Lite directly to the targeted page or node.
+ Dynamic Quick Links (Hotkey)
Ability to quickly navigate through Dynamic Quick Links:
- "e" - switches currentContext to editor.html for Touch UI.
- "w" - switches currentContext to editor for Classic AEM.
- "c" - switches currentContext to CRX/DE console.
- "p" - switches currentContext to pageProperties editor page.
- "d" - switches currentContext to disabled mode for XF and Sites Content.
- "s" - switches currentContext to Sites or XF folder.
- "a" - switches currentContext to DAM folder (but you must be inside of a DAM asset).
+ Bookmark's Quick Links
This tool also has many useful bookmarks. The bookmarks will allow navigating through AEM's core features quickly. Bookmark links are relative paths from the current origin. Make sure to set the Author Url Origin if you have a designated author environment.
+ Bookmark's Quick Links (Hotkey)

- "S" - switches currentContext to AEM Sites
- "A" - switches currentContext to DAM assets
- "X" - switches currentContext to Experience Fragments
