Concept of Authoring and Publishing authoring
CAUTION
AEM 6.4 has reached the end of extended support and this documentation is no longer updated. For further details, see our . Find the supported versions here.
AEM provides you with two environments:
- Author
- Publish
These interact to enable you to make content available on your website - so that your visitors can read it.
The author environment provides the mechanisms for creating, updating and reviewing this content before actually publishing it:
- An author creates and reviews the content (this can be of several types; for example, pages, assets, publications, etc)
- which will, at some point, be published to your website.
