Web Content Management Guide

Getting Started with Adobe Experience Manager

Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) is the content management system for the Commonwealth. If you’re new to AEM, this section will help you get to know to the platform.

Step 1: Adobe tutorials – self-paced videos

Before diving in to our training materials, we recommend the following tutorials, which can be found on the Adobe Experience League website. These tutorials review the basics of AEM – logging on, editing a page, understanding assets, etc.

Step 2: Live classroom sessions

Once you’ve completed the above trainings, you’re prepared for our tutorials.

Training sessions are held on a semi-regular basis in virtual classroom format. Prior sessions have been recorded and are available for viewing at any time. We recommend live trainings so as to freely ask questions and hear from AEM subject matter experts in real time. If scheduling is difficult, the recorded sessions are also a great resource.

  • Attend a live training session (two 1.5-hour mandatory courses; plus optional office hours)
  • View recordings of AEM training sessions

Step 3: User guides – self-paced reading

Now that you know the basics, it’s time to go deeper into each piece of AEM. Our user guides break everything down. Feel free to use them as a resource at any time, whether you’re editing a component for the first time or the fifty-first time.
