AEM Explorer is a Chrome add-on developed by Adam Zamozniewicz that aims to streamline the repetitive tasks involved in working with Adobe Experience Manager (AEM). This tool is designed to make the lives of platform developers, testers, and content authors easier by providing quick access to AEM consoles and pages.

With AEM Explorer, you can easily switch between different contexts and navigate through the AEM structure effortlessly. It allows you to open the current page in various WCM modes such as disabled, edit, preview, and design. You can also view the currently opened path in CRX, Page Properties, or Edit mode, making it convenient to access the information you need.

One useful feature of AEM Explorer is the ability to persist the "wcmmode=disabled" parameter for outbound links. This means that when you click on a link, it will automatically open in the disabled mode, saving you time and effort. Additionally, you can access AEM consoles and pages with just a single click, eliminating the need for manual navigation.

Changing the context in AEM Explorer is simple and can be done either through the extension toolbar button or the Chrome context menu. This flexibility allows you to seamlessly switch between different tasks and workflows without any hassle.

Overall, AEM Explorer is a valuable tool for anyone working with Adobe Experience Manager. It simplifies the mundane and repetitive tasks, making it easier to navigate through the AEM structure and access the necessary consoles and pages. Whether you're a platform developer, tester, or content author, AEM Explorer can greatly enhance your productivity.
