Native integration with ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Express native-integration-adobe-express
AEM Assets integrates natively with ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Express, which allows you to directly access the assets stored in AEM Assets from within the ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Express user interface. You can place content managed in AEM Assets in the Express canvas and then save new or edited content in an AEM Assets repository. The integration provides the following key benefits:
-
Increased content reuse by editing and saving new assets in AEM.
-
Reduced overall time and effort to create new assets or create new versions of existing assets.
Prerequisites prerequisites
Entitlements to access ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Express and at least one environment within AEM Assets. The environment can be any of the repositories within Assets as a Cloud Service or Assets Essentials.

Selecting Current Page saves the asset on your current page to your destination folder.
