AEM Explorer Extension

Working with Adobe Experience Manager can be very repetitive. AEM Explorer aims to simplify the mundane, repetitive tasks and make it easier to work with AEM for platform developers, testers and content authors.

AEM Explorer allows you to quickly switch contexts and easily access Adobe Experience Manager consoles and pages:

* Open the current page in other WCM modes: disabled/edit/preview/design
* View the currently opened path in CRX, Page Properties or Edit mode
* Persist \"wcmmode=disabled\" parameter for outbound links (\"Persist disabled mode\" switch)
* Easily access AEM consoles and pages with a single click
* Change the context either with the extension toolbar button, or with Chrome context menu
