INTRODUCING AEM COMPONENT USAGE AUDIT MANAGER What components are we are using in this website? On which pages have we used the Carousel component? We all have been asked these questions out of nowhere. These simple questions take hours to be answered. We run queries we get the results we filter them and somehow prepare a report. This job is tiresome and somewhat a waste of time. Although AEM and ACS commons provide tools to automate this process. I personally didn't like them. I wanted to create a comprehensive and attractive audit report. Something that could give a complete overview with interesting designs. So I have created this tool which gives the audit report in a number of attractive designs.- http://localhost:4502/content/component-audit-manager.html Features- 1.Report Creation Wizard-   - Select path/paths to list down all the components being used in the pages.   - The table is sortable, searchable and can be downloaded a

Add custom Language in AEM 6.5 While making language copy for a site. We are provided an extensive list of languages. This list of languages can be found at  /libs/wcm/core/resources/languages However, sometimes we need to add a custom language of own.
