AEM started using SFU Groups for access management on Wednesday, December 11.
If you lost access, please reach out to your site owner.
Download Component
The Download component allows you to quickly create a download link for a file stored on your AEM site.
The Download Component will automatically determine the file format and display a corresponding file format icon beside the download link. A description field allows you to add a caption under the download link.
When should it be used?
Use the Download component whenever you need to display a link for a file stored on your AEM site. (e.g., PDF documents)
Using the Download component is helpful to visitors because this indicates that the link does not go to a web page, but to a file that can be downloaded.
In-Component Editing Options
Description - A short description displayed with the download link
File - Allows you to drag and drop a file from the Content Finder. Note: Uploading files from this dialogue box is not recommended as it is difficult to where the file is stored. Uploading a file using the Digital Asset Manager (DAM) is recommended.
