Version 2.3 (30 October 2023)

Summary

Released 30 October 2023

This release has a big new improvement — you can now use Acrolinx Sidebar in AEMaaCS Sites! In addition to that, we've fixed a handful of bugs. Read on for more details.

Platform Support

We recommend that you use:

  • Acrolinx Platform 2022.10 or later

  • Guides versions 2023.10.0 and 2023.09.0

  • AEM Components version 2.23.4

  • A new Content Profile — to take advantage of these improvements, you'll need the latest AEM Content Profile.

Improvements

  • Sidebar Now Available in Sites - You can now use Acrolinx in AEMaaCS Sites! The best part is that you can use the Acrolinx Sidebar within Sites.

  • Acrolinx Highlights More Content - We’ve made a few improvements under the hood to bring you a better Sidebar experience.

Bug Fixes

  • Batch Check Score Not Showing - There was a bug where a user ran a Batch Check in Guides, but the score wouldn’t update on the screen. We’ve fixed this bug so that you can now see the Acrolinx Scores for your documents.

  • Acrolinx Icon Distorted - A fix for a bug where the Acrolinx logo appears after the title "Acrolinx" in the tab view.

  • Acrolinx Sidebar Not Loading - We fixed a bug where the Acrolinx Sidebar wouldn't load consistently when users tried using it in AEM Guides. When the Acrolinx Sidebar didn’t load, AEM Guides appears blank.

  • Error With Find and Replace in Guides - We fixed a bug that caused an issue in the Find and Replace feature in AEM Guides. Users would get an application error.

Version 2.2 and Subsequent Service Releases

Version 2.2.1

Released 7 July 2023

This service release fixes a bug where the Acrolinx menu icon wasn’t available in a user’s local environment. This meant the user couldn’t launch the Acrolinx Sidebar.

Version 2.2

Released 16 February 2023

This release has a new improvement that allows you to extract more information from custom components. It's also packed with fresh bug fixes.

Platform Support

This version of Acrolinx for AEMaaCS works with:

  • Acrolinx Platform 2022.10 or later

We developed and tested this version of Acrolinx for Adobe Experience Manager with:

  • Guides version 2022.5.x - 2022.10.x, 2023.3.x

Improvements
Acrolinx Extracts More Information from Custom Components

We've added additional information to the extracted content in AEM. If the component being extracted is visible on the page, an additional attribute visible="true" will be sent along to the platform, otherwise we’ll set visible="false".

Based on this attribute, it would be possible to exclude or mark cards as read only. This avoids the confusion of getting card suggestions for issues that aren’t visible on the page.

We recommend creating and using custom components in via Adobe’s suggested methods.

Bug Fixes
Getting a 404 Error When Using a Custom Path

If you used custom paths to show or hide Acrolinx, you may have gotten a 404 error that prevented all text from being extracted. We've fixed this issue — Acrolinx looks out for custom prefixes before the standard URL.

Error in Saving Acrolinx Allowed Resources

You might have noticed that Acrolinx resources wouldn't save in the configuration. We've fixed that issue in this release.

Notice

We've changed the Persistent ID. If you used regex to limit access, you'll need to add it again.

To add the regex again, do the following:

  1. Go to system/console/configMgr.

  2. Open Acrolinx Allowed Resources.

  3. Copy the regex if other than .*. Store it somewhere safe (for example, in notes). If you don’t have a customized regex, you can simply update to a new version of Acrolinx Integration.

  4. Update to the new version of Acrolinx and reopen Acrolinx Allowed Resources.

  5. Paste the regex that you saved in Step 3.

DAM List View Was Broken When Installing Acrolinx

When you installed Acrolinx without having AEM Guides installed, the digital asset management (DAM) list view would fail to load. We've removed the dependency on the Guides package so you won’t run into this issue again.

Acrolinx Sidebar Wouldn’t Always Load on First Try

There was an issue where the Acrolinx Sidebar wasn't loading consistently when writers accessed AEM Guides. When the Acrolinx Sidebar didn't load, AEM Guides appeared blank. This was due to Guides loading a very large JS file. We’ve taken care of this issue in this release.
