Document Authoring (DA)

In this tutorial we will setup a WKND Branded site using Document Authoring, where you can have cross-channel editing experience both in Document as well as Universal Editor.

Getting started

• The fastest and easiest way to get started following AEM best practices is to create your repository using this repository as a template, which is setup from the base of AEM Block Collection GitHub repository.

• Click the Use this template button and select Create a new repository and select the user or org you would like to own this repository.

• The only remaining step in GitHub is to install the AEM Code Sync GitHub App on your repository by visiting this link: https://github.com/apps/aem-code-sync/installations/new. This app will sync code changes to AEM.

• In the Repository access settings of the AEM Code Sync App, make sure you select Only select Repositories (not All Repositories). Then select your newly created repository and click Save.
• You have a new website running on https://<branch>--<repo>--<owner>.aem.live In the example above that’s https://main--refdemo-da--aemxsc.aem.live

Create your content

• To create the sample WKND content on your site, head over to DA Importer App.
