Deprecations and End-of-Service
Features in AEM that do not have enough use anymore, or have been replaced with better, more reliable solutions will be removed. Before these features are removed, they are declared deprecated and we provide suggestions for possible replacements.
In the next step, Adobe posts an end-of-service date on this page. After the end-of-service date, the respective service or feature will no longer be available.

The *.hlx.live and *.hlx.page domains are deprecated as of August 23rd, 2024 and will be replaced with *.aem.live and *.aem.page. Instructions for upgrades to aem.live and aem.page are available.
