Launches and Page Lock/Unlock Adobe AEM

Launches

Develop a launch mechanism facilitating updates for future activation of new versions of current web pages. Launches enable you to efficiently develop content for a future release. A launch is created to allow you to make changes ready for future publication (while maintaining your current pages). After editing and updating your launch pages you promote them back to the source, then activate the source pages (top-level). Promoting duplicates of the launch content back to the source pages can be done either manually or automatically (dependent on fields set when creating and editing the launch).
