CMS Guide

The Content Management System (CMS) used by BGSU is referred to as Adobe CMS, Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) or Adobe CQ5.

The Office of Marketing & Communications and Information Technology Services provide training and support for CMS users.

Accessing the CMS

The CMS is may be accessed at the following address: aem.bgsu.edu

Before proceeding to the CMS, you may be prompted by your browser that the site is untrusted. You may continue pass this warning. You will then be prompted to log into the Adobe Experience Manager if you have not already. Use your BGSU username and password to log in.

Once you have logged in, you should begin by choosing the "Sites" item from the left-hand sidebar. Once the page reloads, hover over the "Sites" item in the left-hand sidebar, and click the computer monitor icon that appears. This should load the Web Content Management (WCM) interface.

To edit or modify pages, you'll need to be granted the appropriate permissions. The first step is to take the Adobe CMS Training course.

Bookmarklets

A series of Bookmarklets are available to aid in the use of the CMS. To install these Bookmarklets in your browser, simply drag-and-drop the buttons below into your bookmarks or favorites toolbar. Once installed, you may click one of the toolbar buttons to quickly switch from one version of a CMS page to another. For example, use the "CMS Edit w/CF" button to quickly make a change to a page you are viewing on the BGSU website.
