Command language API delta

Experience Manager has an API consisting of commands used in the form of HTML comments, but it still recognizes the SiteEdit HTML comment command API. Use this topic if you want to find out which parts of the API are now ignored, or if you want to migrate to the new API.

SiteEdit Settings command

This command is still recognized by its old name, but has been renamed to Page Settings.

Property or subcommandStatus in Experience Manager
PageIDUnchanged
PageVersionIgnored only if the command property PageModified is set.
PageTemplateIDNew property: the ID of the Page Template with which the Page was rendered to create this Web page.
PageModifiedNew property: the timestamp of the last published version of the Page object.
PageTemplateModifiedNew property: the timestamp of the last published version of the Page Template object.
TargetTypeIDIgnored. You can configure mappings between publishing destination and staging Web site as a system-wide setting only in Experience Manager. You configure this in Publication Targets in Content Manager Explorer.
